Is there anyway I can type different language?
My PC is Dell Dimension 8100 with windows ME and MS Office XP.
What I want to do is write story for Japanese people in Japanese.
I down loaded "NJ star Japanese word possessor" program, even though, I don'
t have Japanese keyboard so I have to type in English alphabet (they call
roma-ji) and change to Japanese alphabet Hiragana then if necessary which
most of the time is change to another Japanese alphabet Kanji. It is OK if I
'm writing short message but longer story it is very time consuming.

How can I make it work? How international professionals handle multi
language tasks?
If I buy Japanese key board may be I can type direct Japanese but does it
work with English version OS?
I have "Japanese language support" and "Japanese menus and dialogs for
internet explorer 6" down loaded from Microsoft, if I have Japanese
keyboard, can I type Japanese with this MS word I have now?
