What computer program do I need for writing in Chinese characters?

I would like to be able to write in chinese on my computer on programs like Word or on the messenger.

What computer program do I need for writing in Chinese characters?
If you have Windows XP, then you don't need any special software, you can use the built-in Chinese IME (Input Method Editors) that come with Windows XP.





You may need your Windows XP installation disks handy (It may not be necessary if your computer came preinstalled with Windows XP).





For information on how to install it, take a look at this link:

Reply:i asked a question about spanish and said i know small spanish. you told me that i used it wrong. just to let you know, i clearly stated i dont know much spanish. so obviously if i knew that grammar thing i would've used it. for the chinese thing- google doesn't work.
Reply:there is a site : www.njstar.com and then on the home page you scroll down to NJStar Communicator 2.60 and download that. You can type in Simplfied Chinese, Traditional chinese, Korean and Japanese... hope its helpful. i find it useful
