If given translated text in Mandarin, can I use it to create a PPT? A client
has asked me to do this and I don't know if I can.

Yes, you can, if you have installed Windows 2000, or XP
Yes, you can, if you have installed Windows 98, or ME and Office 2000 or
2002

Make sure your system is enabled to read east asian languages. (Following is
the procedure for XP - others are similar).

1. go to - Start
- Settings
- Control Panel
- Regional and Language Options

2. Click on the Languages tab and activate the "Install files for East
Asian Languages" box. You may be asked to insert the original Windows system
CD to install files from.
Click on the "Deatails" box and under "Installed Services" select
"Add". Choose from the drop-down list the variation of Chines input language
you want to use. Click on O.K.
At the bottom of the screen under Preferences, click on the Language
Bar and activate the "Show Language Bar on Desktop" box.

3. Download and Install the relative Language IME from Office 2000,
2002(XP) Update (available for Chinese, Japanese, Korean). Do not install
this if you already have the IME from the Windows 2000 or XP system
installed.


Now your Windows and Office programs will show Asian text.


Open PowerPoint,

1. Click on Format and choose Font, a box will open showing a drop-down
box on the fist line labelled Asian Text Font: Choose a compatible font such
as TT Simsun.
2. Change your IME language by left-clicking on the language icon that
appears in the tool-bar, bottom right of screen (this shows your
installation language, which for English is EN), a list of installed
languages will appear, choose the apropiate Chinese icon. This will activate
the IME

Now you can directly type in Chinese from your keyboard using the IME
which converts the typed-in Pin-Yin into Hanji text. (Read the Help file for
the IME).

That's all there is to it.


Cheers,

Sorry, I forgot to mention something.

You say you have the text already translated into Mandarin? After
setting up Language and IME as I mentioned, you may be able to scan the
document and insert it into Word for processing, and editing, and then
insert it directly into PowerPoint using Drag-and-Drop or copy and paste.

Most modern Scanners come with Chines OCR incorporated.


Cheers,

Tom
