Using the Simplified Chinese IME, I am trying to type the pinyin word
"nu+[umlaut]" in a document to get the Chinese character for "woman." There
seems to be no way to do this. I keep getting "nu" which is a different
syllable altogether.

Any ideas about this?

You might try asking this in the word.international.features newsgroup or a
chinese newsgroup for Word.

Where did you get Simplified Chinese IME? I tried to get the IME for Office
2003 on Windows XP, and according to MS Office Online, I set up the system
and enabled the language setting, but I also need to download IME(Simplified
Chinese), but the only available on Mircrosoft web site is for Office XP, and
there is no way you can get help from Micro$oft unless you pay for $125/hour!
Micro$oft drives people crazy!

I have exactly the same problem and wasted hours on the net trying to solve
it. If you have a solution, could you please let us know?

Cheers

well, "u+[umlaut]" is mapped to "v" in most of the pinyin based IMEs.
