如何用 Windows XP IME 来输入中文？

在言论版上，我发现同学们都在用汉语拼音来沟通。
你们难道不觉得有时很难理解吗？　:)　你们为什么不尝试直接输入中文字呢？

因此，我向大家介绍Microsoft的Windows XP IME Chinese Input software。最重要的是，该软件是免费的（Free of Charge）。

Use the Microsoft Global IME for Office XP (Simplified Chinese) to input Simplified Chinese text into your documents, worksheets, presentations, mail messages, publications, and Web pages. After you have installed the Global IME, you just start your Office XP program, select Simplified Chinese from the Language bar, and you can type Simplified Chinese, regardless of the language version of Office XP or the operating system you are using.

Windows XP
1) Go to Control Panel (Click ‘Start’,then highlight Control Panel)
2) Select and double click‘Regional and Language option’
3) Select ‘Languages’,under ‘Text services and input language’, double click ‘details’
4) Click on ‘Add’under ‘Installed services’
5) Under ‘Input Language’select‘Chinese(Singapore)’or ‘Chinese(PRC)’
6) Click ‘OK’, ‘Apply’then ‘OK’
7) You may begin using the Chinese input by selected ‘CH’in the language bar or by using hot keys ‘Control + space’.
