Compliance with Microsoft Global Input Method Editors (IME). It is the best free input method I hav found for inputting Japanese characters.
Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent
PLease give further information of what IME you are talking about. Those that come along with (this/that/another) Windows?
I mean MS Global IME 5.02 (Japanese/Chinese/Korean), I can download separately from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/recommended/ime/default. asp It is meant to enable users of English (ie. WESTERN) version of MS Windows 98 to input Japanese (or Chinese/Korean) characters on their computer. Besides MS Office and Internet Explorer, it works with Netscape Composer.
ES->SBA: THE problematic of supporting non-native Win98...
Openoffice.org only supports the native IMEs that come along with the native Asian Win98 systems. The IME you mentioned it is not using the Windows Standard APIs, thus it only works with MS Office.
Closed.
