3. At the bottom-left corner, you can see boxes showing 中 meaning Chinese; 拼 Pinyin meaning "Chinese phonetic symbols". (Click the first item on the same floating bar 中 you will make  the program switch between the English and Chinese input methods.
4. Instruction of inputting Chinese characters.At this point, students are able to enter Chinese  characters in a Microsoft Word document. The instructor now demonstrates how to enter     Chinese characters using the Chinese phonetic symbols as a way of input, with the following  explanations.Type the Pinyin (Chinese phonetic symbols) for the words you want to enter.  For example, if you want to enter the word "Hanyu" (meaning "the Chinese language"), type     the letters han first. If the word is not what you want, press icon - you will see a number of     characters with the same sound appearing at the bottom of the screen. Choose the one you     want.
       Next, type yu, the phonetic symbols for the next character. Again several characters with     the same pronunciation will appear in the list. If there is no word like 语press the icon -- ,    Select among them the character you want, which is the second one, meaning "language".
   

A faster way of input is using the "Association" feature of the Chinese software. This means that once you have selected a character, other characters that can be associated with the chosen character to form words will automatically appear at the bottom of the screen for you to choose from. Therefore, you do not have to enter the phonetic symbols for the second character. Instead, you only have to press the number for that character to select it. Let us again take 汉语(the Chinese language) as an example. First, with cursor pointing to 拼, right click and choose 属性设备and then 逐键提示type first letter, you will see several phrases, choose the one you want.
