I am using OpenOffice 2.0.3 and I was wondering if it was possible to
type Chinese charters as a font. I have read the instructions for
changning a language, but as of yet I have not been able to type
Chinese characters. I feel there is a way to do this but I have been
unsucessful at finding the answer. Please help me out. Thanks.

Nick, what operative system do you use on your computer ? Entering
Chinese
glyphs directly from your -presumably English - keyboard is, if I
understand
the matter aright, more an OS than an OOo question. The two major
alternatives are Windows IMEs (
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/recommended/ime/
default.mspx)
and SCIM (http://www.scim-im.org/). I use a bundled version of the
latter on
a Linux distro (Ubuntu 6.10) and am reasonably satisfied with the way it
works in writing Chinese and Japanese texts. Works equally well with
OOo and
other text editors - including Gmail's rich formatting.
If you'd like to try an online pinyin input method editor which does not
require downloading anything to your computer (but in return does
require
that you cut and paste into texts on which you are working), you
might take
a look at what is offered at the following address :
