Windows 98 Chinese Input


- Download and install Microsoft Global IME (Traditional) ChangJie and reboot.

- Open Notepad and type the following:
<html> <body>
<textarea rows="38" cols="80">Type Chinese here</textarea>
</body></html>

- Save this file as chinput.html. Make sure it has the ".html" extension.

- Click on the file to open it, and then place the cursor inside the input field in the webpage, and simultaneously press the the space bar and the control (Ctrl) key.

- You should see a button with a Chinese phonetic character appear in the lower righthand system tray. If you only see the letters En, left click on it and a list should appear which contains "Chinese (Traditional) IME". Select "Chinese IME".

- A small "toolbar" should appear in the lower lefthand corner of the screen. Right click on the left side of this bar and click on the first item in the list (ying mu xiao jian pan).

- Now you can click on the phonetic symbols and tone markers (space bar for 1st tone) to get a list of characters in a box. Choose the character you want or click the arrow for more choices.
