Hi,

I'm trying to change my keyboard to be able to type Japanese characters but I can't find a way to do it. I still want to use roman characters primarily but I have an Illustrator project which requires Japanese.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Thanks for your help!

go to the International pref pane. select Kotoeri in the Input Menu section.

now, you use command-space to toggle between input methods (or use the menu). there are selections on the menu for hirigana or katakana, and to input kanji type it in hirigana (or kana) first, then press space while it is underlined to cycle through the relevant kanji.
