Korean Word Processor on an American PC

• Web sites published in Korean require Microsoft's Korean Language Pack (free) in order to properly display Korean characters.
• On the Microsoft Product Updates page, (under the International Language Support section) check the box next to Korean Language Support.
• Click the Download button at the top of the page.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
  Windows Update downloads and installs Korean Language Support.

• Once you have installed the downloaded file, and restarted the computer, open your Internet Explorer browser. Now from the menu at the top of the browser choose "view," then "encoding" (in I.E. 4 you will choose "fonts" instead of "encoding"), then choose "Korean." This process will turn on the Korean interpretation and you will be able to read Korean text through your browser.

• Install the Free Language Interpreter (IME 5.01). With the IME 5.01 you can read Korean and write Korean characters into Email, Web pages, etc. Click here for simple and detailed directions from Microsoft on how to install and use the IME with Internet Explorer. Make certain to select the download file "Microsoft Global IME 5.01 for Korean with language pack." Click here to go directly to the file you will need.

• In the Options| General Preferences| Font menu section, set "fonts" to use one of the Hangul fonts for both proportional and fixed font settings. For this you will need to have a Hangul font already loaded in your computer (see UnionWay below if you do not have any Hangul fonts in your computer).
• Choose Korean (e.g., auto-detect, EUC-KR, etc.) at 'For the Encoding.'
• To make this change permanent (i.e. make Korean the default encoding), you have to save options by choosing Save Options in Options menu (In 4.0, choose Set Default Encoding in View | Encoding).
• If you are still having trouble in Netscape try reading about installing Korean language at this Netscape link people.Netscape.com.

• UnionWay offers a Free 60-day trial of their Asian Suite '97 or Asian Suite 2000 software that allows you to read and write Hangul on the Internet. Asian Suite is easy to install and can be downloaded with Korean fonts. These fonts [e.g, "uwkmjf.ttf" a (KSC) font] can be used with either the UnionWay utility, or a Netscape browser as described above. Go to unionway.
