This is actually a very common problem, so it's a good one to research on
the web. I used the search "pinyin tone microsoft xp" in google and got lots
of relevant links. One led me to this page...

http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/read.shtml

It's not always straightforward, though. According to your setup, results
may vary. For instance, in this page's discussion I can't read his "third
tones" no matter which language I select for encoding in IE6. But maybe if I
opened the html page in word or firefox, it would work!

Good luck, Steve
