I had the same problem and this helps me a lot. Thank you!
Ant said:FINALLY, I got it to work! It looked like I had to add more keyboard
layout/IME options for "Add Input Language" screen. I guess the defaults
additions were not enough because I didn't see all those fancy features
in Language Bar for Chinese language. I don't remember having to add a
lot of options for Windows 2000 with Office 2000.
How come there is no writing option like English with its drawing pad
option? It is greyed out.
--Ant:
It's not necessary to download Asian IMEs if you have a retail or full
OEM copy of XP as the various Asian IMEs (and many others) are already
on the CD. As a matter of fact, downloading and installing IMEs can
prevent you from properly using the language correctly - which may
have happened in your situation. The downloadable IMEs are for Win9X
and older versions of Office.
Since it's almost impossible to remove an IME once installed, I
suggest you go to the following web site and follow the instructions
given for Asian language installation both for XP and MS Office.
Perhaps you can figure out what's wrong.

Isn't this the same as downloading Asian languages through Internet
Explorer when it finds a foreign site (e.g., Chinese)? Since XP is an
OEM version, I do not have a CD for XP Media Center. How would I get
around this?

after that you should have a language bar appear on the screen or in the
task bar (task bar [EN] clickon it and choose xx language.....
Yes, I have this. Also Korean and Japanese listed.
Hello!
I am helping my father to set up his new Windows XP Media Center (with
all updates; Toshiba OEM) to support Asian IME and characters. I
installed IME stuff and fonts/characters (through IE6), set up Office
Language Settings, and tested Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (East Asian
characters) files in Internet Explorer v6.0 SP1 (all updates). We can
see the characters perfectly on Web sites for reading.
Now, the problem is typing Asian characters in Wordpad, MS Works' Word
Processor, Office 2003 (Word and PowerPoint mostly), etc. We selected
Chinese in Language Bar and a Chinese font name (MingLiu or something).
I even tried using Office 2003's drawing pad, and it didn't recognize
the writings to convert to an Asian computer character.
In MS Office's Help, it noted global IME for Office 2003. I do not see
this on Office 2003 Update and Downloads sites. Did I miss something?
Setting for IME, installing Asian stuff, and using it in Windows 2000
SP4 and with Office 2002/XP was a piece of cake.
Thank you in advance.
