Windows 2000 IME Help

Q: How do I type foreign characters when I am using a Windows 2000 computer?

A: With the help of an Imput Method Editor, or IME, you can input characters into Windows in Word, Outlook Express, or Internet Explorer.

How does it work?
After you install Global IME for any language, Windows displays the Language bar icon on the task bar whenever a supporting application is active. To write in East Asian characters, you just have to click the Language bar icon, select the desired East Asian language, and start typing.

Notice How the Language bar has appeared at the top of the screen. By clicking on the tab that shows the current language you can change it to any of the languages that are installed on the computer.

What software do I need?
In the Language lab you will not need to install any software. It  should already be installed for you, should you find that it is not installed please ask the lab monitor for assistance.

Global IME works on any computer running on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 with SP 6 or later, with Internet Explorer 5.01 or greater. The only other piece of software you need is the Language Pack for the language that you want to write, which you can get when you download Global IME for Office XP or if you are not using Office XP you can download an alternate version for other versions of Office such as Office 2000.
