Hi All
I want to type Chinese pin yin with tones into a word document.

My laptop has the Chinese character and Pinyin language/fonts installed and
available i.e. I can change the language setting and type Pinyin in which
automatically translate to Chinese characters on entering or spacebar. But I
don't want the characters, I want the Pinyin with tones....

In the language bar I changed the Language to Chinese and(PRC) and "Chinese
Simplified (Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0)" and then went to the context menu and
to €œsoft keyboarb" and selected "Pinyin Letters".
Now I can only type pinyin vowels - no letters? (so I went back to English)

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or whether there are any "Add-in's" or
programmes that I can download to enable me to type straight pinyin with
tones into a Word document?
