By: Learner | 20-07-2008
I have PenPowerJr 7.0 and Window XP. When I write in Chinese, the Writing Pad recognizes the word and displays it in "Mouse Mode". My problems are:
1. The word won't show on the caret (in A.I.)
2. The word won't show on "Phrase".
3. I can't make the "command tool bar" display when I rest the cursor on the word. (as described on instruction book 4.5.1)
4. All the places where I expect Chinese words would appear (as the instruction document illustrates) show just rectugular squares. i.e. No Chinese words.
