Where is Format | Asian Layout tab?

[Guest]

I am using Windows XP which has the GIM (for inputting chinese, japanese,
etc. text). I have MS Word 2000. I was trying to "use a phonetic guide for
japanese text" or furigana. It tells me to select the text that I want to
add the "phonetic guide" to and then select Format | Asian layout... But
there is no Asian Layout under Format. I have selected the japanese text
first, but still "Asian Layout". Where is it?

Try asking this in the word.international.features newsgroup. Did you install
the "foreign language" tools when setup ran? And have you formatted the
japanese characters in your text with the japanese language? You have to have
installed the support in Office, as well as in Windows, I think.
