Changing between Simplified and Traditional Chinese fonts? | Ant | 9/23/12 1:30 PM | Hello.
In Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.8.2, how does one change between Simplified and Traditional Chinese fonts? When highlighting Chinese characters and changing to another one (Traditional to Simplified or Simplifed to Traditional), they do not get changed at all in updated MS Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 (Word and PowerPoint). Thank you in advance. :) |

It happens as a result of the student's own activities (reading, thinking, writing, etc.), while the professor can only facilitate that process. --Ahmed Afzaal, 2012.07.11, CHE, "Grading and Its Discontents" ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! . |

Just what is already shown on the screen. Hence, the highlights of texts/characters to change. Hmm, I don't see it? Here's an example with updated Office 2011's Word's new document and its Services menu options: http://i.imgur.com/b1xLS.png ... This was in the updated Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion). |

Re: Changing between Simplified and Traditional Chinese fonts? | Ant | 9/24/12 6:11 AM | Oh, but it happens in PowerPoint and Office 2008 as well. :/

You can't change from SC>TC or TC>SC by just changing fonts (although there are some mainland input GB-show TC exceptions). You have to convert them first, then they will show up as desired. Not sure why MS Office doesn't provide for this. . |

Interestingly, NeoOffice allows use of the ChineseTextConverting Service (note: I'm still using 10.5.8!), but OpenOffice does not (see attached Grabs). A little bit more involved would be to copy the character(s) you want converted into TextEdit, convert using Services, then Copy-Paste back. If you've got a whole SimpCHN document that you need converted, copy all, paste in TextEdit (RTF), then paste back. Some formatting may be lost. . |

use Office? ;) |
