Computer help

[Shi Rui'en]

Okay, so first of all lets exclude everyone who uses a pc since this is on a Mac. I know, I know..but I happen to like apple's. So I just upgraded to Mac OS X but I don't know how to write in characters. Any help? I am definately not technologically gifted.

Thanks

Ok, sorry if this reaches you late. Just read it. Usually all the questions are pc, so...

Go to System Preferences

Then "international"

Hit the "language" tab

You can drag languages into prefered order for operating system (beware the CHinese operating system. I got overwhelmed after a week!

For writing:

Go to System Preferences

Then "international"The "input menu"

Check the boxes for the kind of Chinese you want.

You will then have a menu in the top of the screen with little flags, you can pull down into it, it just takes a moment to load up.

You can use the input in most applications, but sometimes to view chinese pages in internet browsers, you will have to set that seperately. Go to "preferences" then "language" and add languages. I added all of the CHinese, just to save the trouble of having to do it again.
