how do i type in other languages in word?

[Astronomer13]

i am a student who is studying japanese, and need to be able to type Japanese
at home on my PC in order to pass my VCE, so i need to find out how i can
get the Input Media Editor for office 2003, i run on windows XP but not
office XP, i dont care how much it costs/ how long it will take, i just want
someone who knows what they are talking about to tell me step by step how i
go about getting it.
thank you

As far as I know, the Japanese IME is only available for Office XP, not for
Office 2003. So if you really need the Japanese IME, you could uninstall
Office 2003, purchase and install Office XP, and download and install the
Office XP Japanese IME.
