SUMMARY
You can use Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters (also known as double-byte character set, or DBCS characters) in Web forms and e-mail messages in any language version of Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 95, or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.



MORE INFORMATION
To use DBCS characters, download and install Microsoft Global IME from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=803A623E-C311-4591-A593-B0E24A6F38E8

After Global IME is installed, follow these steps:
 * 1) Please the insertion point in an entry edit area in Internet Explorer, or in the message body of an e-mail message in Microsoft Outlook Express.
 * 2) Click the Global IME icon in the taskbar, and then switch to the IME keyboard layout.

A floating toolbar should appear on the screen. IME is selected, but inactive (off).
 * 1) Press ALT+SHIFT to activate IME. (Pressing ALT+SHIFT again deactivates IME.)

Once IME is active, you can type Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text.

For additional information about how to input Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text in Web forms and e-mail messages, consult the Global IME Help located on the floating toolbar.
