And, heh, I haven't tried writing Mandarin on the computer yet. I don't even know how to use the pinyin properly yet. There should be a way to configure the IMEs to show traditional first though. Try changing the location to Taiwan, possibly?

I'm taking private lessons, not with a university or school. AFAIK, since China now uses simplified Chinese, most places would teach that (they do, don't they?).
Yah, there is a configuration dialogue.. but the problem is that my Chinese knowledge is no where near enough to understand the dialogs...

That's true I suppose.. but that's kind of akward... And the main problem is that I don't have Office XP. Office 2000... But if at all possible, I'd rather not have to have Microsoft Word open all the time.....
Also, no ideas for SCIM in Linux?
Hmm, if I post some screenshots of the configuration screens, I wonder if sarcasteak's free translation thread would translate it for me haha
