Install an Input Method Editor (IME)
The Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language versions of Microsoft Office each come with the IMEs for that language. If you are using a different language version of Microsoft Office, you can download the IME you want from the Microsoft Office Web site.
- Go to the Microsoft Office Web site, navigate to the IME download page you want, and then follow the instructions there.
Once you have installed the IME, you can access it from the Language bar that appears on the screen. For detailed information about using the IME, see the Help that is included with it.
IMEs are also included with the Microsoft Office XP Proofing Tools. For more information about Proofing Tools, visit the Microsoft Office Web site.

- If you used what was referred to as a Global IME with a previous version of Office, it will not work with Office XP. You need to go to the Web site listed above to download an updated version.
