Hello

We use Chinese Plus from Bider technology.
http://www.biderworld.com/chineseplus.asp
The academic package is low cost and solves all the issues of using Chinese
in non Chinese environments and across most applications.  It is compatible
with Word 2003 and 2007 and the input is hot key switchable across virtually
all Chinese input methods. 

Regards
Kate Hammond

Hi,

Anyone knows how to get this feature--Convert Traditional Chinese to 
Simplified Chinese and Vice Versa--in Word 2007? We are planning to 
rebuild student computers running Windows XP this week.

You can try the REVIEW tab, in which there is a section for character
convertion.

Hi,

Our KEY5 software does a great job of converting Traditional <->  
Simplified.

Download a free trial version from our website http://www.cjkware.com

Simply copy/paste the text from Word to KEY5, type Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Shift 
+S (convert into Simplified) or Ctrl+Shift+T (convert into  
Traditional), then copy/paste the text back from KEY5 to Word.

Regards,
Will McKee.
Software Developer,
for KEY5 software.

1. Click the Office button in the top left corner of Word (the colorful 
button that everyone, including myself, fails to notice until it's pointed 
out to them)

2. Choose "Word Options", which is also hard to notice but is down at the 
bottom right of the window you just opened

3. Click Customize on the left

4. In the drop-down list under "Choose commands from", choose "All 
Commands"

5. Look for and select "Chinese Translation" - I think that's the one you 
want - and click Add to move it from the left side over to the right side

This puts the Chinese translation button up at the top, just to the right 
of the colorful Office button, Save button, etc. Now you can select any 
Chinese text you've typed (using Microsoft standard tools) and change it 
from Traditional to Simplified and vice versa. 

NOW, for it to do any good, you of course have to have the Chinese 
keyboard in Windows enabled and also probably need to have the Chinese 
language pack for Office installed. THAT is a process that can take pages 
to describe (mostly how to obtain the CDs from Microsoft). If you need 
help with that part, post another message and quite a few of us can give 
you some advice on that.

You used to need the Chinese 'proofing' tools installed for that feature to
become available.  I haven't gotten to Office 2007 testing yet (that will be
later this summer), so I'm not 100% sure.
