KanjiTools for WinWord

Overview

Kanjitools for Word is a set of macros I developed to solve some of the problems I encountered when working with Chinese text files.

WINDOWS: Get KTWWORDJ (or KTWWORDC for Chinese) fromt the MACRO directory of the ZenBase CD1. When you open this file in Word6 and double-click on the installation button, it will automatically install all necessary macros and a menu.

MACINTOSH: If you own Word 6 J for the Mac, you can open the file "Kanjitools for Word" found in the MACRO folder of TOOLS. Click on the installation button, and all of the macros mentioned below will be installed.

CEF2BMP

Converts the reference codes used by KanjiBase to bitmapped images of the characters for viewing and printing

CONC2Word

Creates a printable concordance from an output file produced by CONC

WIN2ISO

Converts diacritical marked characters from their ANSI character codes to ISO Latin1 entity references. This is useful also if you want to move a textfile containing diacritics and Kanji between different platforms and/or codes.

ISO2WIN

Converts the ISO Latin1 entity references used in HTML to the corresponding ANSI codes used in Windows, thus reverses the changes made by WIN2ISO.

TOKANJI

This will force the currently selected text to the Kanji characterset.

TOROMAN

ToRoman forces the selection to the ANSI characterset.

FGREP

A macro that calls the very fast textsearch program fgrep.com to search a specified item, and displays the result in a new document window.
