James, the above solutions aren't really directly related to writing CJK languages (with Windows IMEs, SCIM provides keyboard access to a lot more languages that don't use a variation on the Latin alphabet, e g, Indic languages) in OOo, but rather in the various operative systems themselves. Windows IMEs, as far as I know - but perhaps Jonathan can say more on this matter - work only on certain more recent Windows OS, but SCIM works on all kinds of POSIX-compatible systems, including more recent Windows OS, Mac OS X, and most Linux distros (which are considered «mostly POSIX-compliant»). If William or his wife go to the SCIM web-site (http://www.scim-im.org/), they will notice that the latest piece of news is that a new version of scim-hangul has been released. My suggestion would be to check out the URLs provided in my earlier post and in the present one, and see if the information they require is not to be found there. I know that OOo has its own «support» for Asian languages, but as I've never used it, I don't feel qualified to write about it.... Henri
