There are a few ways to do this.
The easiest is to go to the "international" control panel and under
"simplified chinese" check ITABC. You should then be able to type
pinyin and have it converted to chinese characters automatically (ie
after pressing return) when you select it from the keyboard menu in
your menu bar in appleworks.
Alternatively you can download QIM:

this is an alternative pinyin - chinese character conversion which
utilises the keyboard palettes as well. I find it a little more
accurate and there are options to tweak it.
If all that is still no good, you can get a program called MacKEY
which does pinyin-chinese text conversion and also has a english-
chinese dictionary. You could then cut and paste the result into
appleworks.

a really good page that explains all the options is here:
http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/input_methods.html
but ultimately trying them on your 'puter is the best as there's
only
so much someone can explain...
Good luck
