They seem to have omitted on the page that you have to select Japanese from the taskbar and then control-tilde within the document at the point where you want to start writing in Japanese before starting to type. That's the way to do it in XP anyway.
In Japanese Windows, we have several ways to change our typing language between Japanese and English:

A. If you are using a Japanese keyboard (which I really hate because of the small spacebar), there is a small key right next to the "Alt" keys that let's you convert between English, half-set kana, and full-set kana.

B. Or, if you are using a 101-US keyboard like most computer geeks here prefer to use, we use the shortcut command "Alt" + "~/`" (the key right above the "Tab" button)

C. Manually convert full-set kana to half-set English by use of mouse at the IME toolbar
