Hi,

One of our users is using Office XP (Word 2002) on an XP
SR1 platform.

When using Chinese on the keyboard, all that types out is
English US characters. All other languages appear to be
fine.

When looking at the font within the keyboard you can see
the relevant character set, but they do not type out.

I have applied SR3 for Office XP to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Scott

To what keyboard layout are you referring? I do not know of any Chinese
(Traditional or Simplified) layout that has Han right on th keyboard (it is
all accessed through the IME).

Hi,

All 5 of the Chinese keyboard layouts have this issue,
both the simplified and traditional layouts.

When you refer to IME, do you mean I need to download the
relevant IME patches from the micosoft site?

Regards

Scott

Please name a keyboard layout that has this problem (the exact name) and
then explain the exact tool that does not show it properly. The description
of the problem makes it hard to understand what is being reported.

There is no "IME patch" to install, so I am not suggesting that. The IMEs
are all built in to Windows XP.

Hi

I will e-mail the screen shots as soon as possible. I am
currently waiting for them from the user.

Note that the virtual keyboards that come with the IMEs themselves are
separate applications, not connected to the Windows On-Screen Keyboard on
the Accessibility menu.

Are these the virtual keyboards attached to the IME itself?

Hi

These keyboards are the standard Windows 2000 keyboards.

Is there a way to forward the screen shots to you?

Regards

Scott

None of the standard Windows 2000 keyboards contain Chinese ideographs. See
the following link for the keyboard list and tell me what keyboard layout is
not displaying what you expect (noting that Chinese is *never* an option,
unlessd you refer to the Bopomofo pronunciation marks on the Bopomofo IME or
the pronunication ones on the ChaJei IME):

http://microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.aspx

Even then, I am not sure what you are expecting the On-Screen keyboard to do
as those IME keyboards are not able (as far as I know) to be interrogated by
the keyboarding functions and therefore would not display those characters.
You would need the virtual keyboard attached to the IME to get that.
