Using the Simplified Chinese Input Method 83
Using the Selection Palette
The Simplified Chinese Input Method provides selection palettes for you to select characters,
punctuation, symbols, and special characters in these cases:
m
If you are using the Wubi Xing, Wubi Hua, or ABC input mode, and more than one
Chinese character matches the keys you enter
m If you are using the Wubi Hua or ABC input mode, and you choose Show Associated
Words from the Pencil menu
m If you are using the Wubi Xing, Wubi Hua, or Quwei input mode, and you choose Show
Punctuation from the Pencil menu
m If you are using the ABC input mode, and press
v
followed by a number (1–9)
There are several ways you can select characters in the palettes and enter them into your
document.
m
Click the character.
m Press the Up or Down Arrow keys to select a different row in the palette.
m Press the Left or Right Arrow keys to select adjacent characters in the palette.
When the character you want is selected, press the Space bar, Return, or Enter to enter it
into your document.
m Type the number adjacent to the character, which enters the character in your document
and closes the selection palette. The character must be on the row with the currently
selected character for a number to appear next to it.
Note: When you enter a character, the selection palette closes immediately. You can also
press the Esc key or click the close box to close the palette.
Using the Operation Palette
You can use the operation palette to perform several tasks rather than using the menu
commands.
You can also show or hide the operation palette with the Show Operation Palette or Hide
Operation Palette command in the Pencil menu.
