Does anyone here type Japanese using Windows XP/Vista? I have a few questions...?
I am attempting to use Japanese IME in Windows Vista (same as XP) and I have no problem typing katakana or hiragana, etc. but when I try to type a city name such as "Tokyo" I have no such luck. It simply breaks down to the katakana pronunciation and not the actual Kanji for "Tokyo". Please help me if you have any idea to what I'm talking about :) Thanks!

I hope you realize Tokyo's name uses a long "o" for both o's. This means you'll probably have to enter it as Tookyoo if you are typing romaji into the IME.

When you use the IME, you should be able to type in the name (tokyo) and then hit the space bar. It should take a best-guess to convert it. If it gets it wrong, hit space a second time and a pop-up appears with a list of all possible character combinations. User your mouse to click the one you want and continue typing. You can also hit return to choose the default conversion.

It took me awhile to get used to using the Japanese IME, but you are well on your way being able to get it to do all but the kanji. The spacebar should bring up kanji options if all of the characters are being treated as one unit (although Tokyo shouldn't have any real options except the correct one).
