[cw-discuss] How to use IME in MS Office 2003?

[Aric Stewart]

Hello,

Which XIM are you trying to use. for Japanese i would recommend kinput2.

You have to make sure your locale is set to ja_JP.UTF-8  and you need to 
make sure that kinput2 is working properly. This will involve having 
kinput2 and cannaserver both running.

Here is more information:

Make sure that the XMODIFIERS environment variable is set such as this 
XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"

Then you can test input first using notepad.  run ~/cxoffice/bin/wine 
notepad
then try inputing Japanese into notepad.  Then it should also work in MS 
Office 2003.

thanks
-aric
