Hi Richie,

I'm not clear on how F6 within Word 2007 is coming into play. It moves the focus between menu/task pane elements. If you've
installed the East Asian and complex script supplemental Windows XP Control panel
Regional and Language Options=>Languages andSettings
and in that same dialog used [Details] to add Japanese Keyboard as a language, and assign there a keyboard setting to switch to that
keyboard.

When in Word 2007 if you then use that keyboard shortcut setting (example, Ctrl+Shift+3) the Japanese IME toolbar should appear near
the Windows taskbar and you can turn input on and off and choose the input method you want to use. Direct input usually requires
typing a character pair to convert English to Japanese characters, but you can use the soft keyboard or the writing pad as well.

Hi Richie,

The F6 key works during the conversion process when the IME is active.
Normally F6 in Word is the 'Next pane' accessibility key in Office 2007 ('Other Pane' in Office XP and 2003) and seems to take
precedence, but you may want to use the link below to also post in the MS Word International features group. I usually just switch
from the IME toolbar after assigning a keyboard shortcut to switch to the Japanese keyboard in Windows control panel as mentioned
previously. When switching to a Japanese keyboard that pops the IME toolbar into view.
