  1. 壹、 序言

作者曾經在第三屆全球華文網路教育國際研討會、北加州中文學校聯合會教師研討會、中文學校行政人員練習會以及北加州灣區華人社團，發表了 IME 5.02 及 IME 2002a 輸入法，深獲好評。 現在再次把美國微軟公司最新版本介紹給大家使用，這軟體是Microsoft Office IME 2003，它的使用更簡單。

近年來在美加地區正掀起學習華文的潮流，不只是一般週末式的中文學校，甚至主流社會的小學、高中、大學乃至公司企業，對華文學習及應用的需求也逐漸提高。華文教育從早期的只注重聽與說，己演變加強至讀與寫的要求。因此對中文書寫軟體的需求也更迫切。

在海外，使用英文視窗的人數大約占百分之八十以上，尤其在美加地區約占百分之九十。大部份的人使用免費試用軟體在銀幕上讀中文字但不能輸入。有些人嘗試在英文視窗下載或外掛不同的中文軟體，例如雙橋，南極星等等來閱讀或書寫中文。但往往在安裝之後，因軟體與個人電腦系統不相容，常常當機，造成困擾，最後只好仍用英文字來做溝通。

美國微軟公司發行最新版本軟體名叫『Microsoft Office IME 2003 』，包括如下三種不同輸入法，使用上更簡單，但只能使用於TabletPC, Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or above, Windows Server 2003及Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or above系統：

一、新注音輸入法 Microsoft New Phonetic IME (TINTSETP.MSI)

二、新倉頡輸入法 Microsoft New ChangJie IME (CINTSETP.MSI)

三、新手寫輸入法 Microsoft IME Pad (SINTSETP.MSI)

此軟體可在美國微軟公司的網站免費下載，網址如下：

本文主旨在於將此免費而實用的資訊提供給大家，讓使用者能在英文視窗系統下，不用再加裝任何硬體就能夠輸入中文字，只要到美國微軟公司的網站免費下載，安裝後就立刻能使用。尤其對海外中文學校在經費有限下不需另購或更換系統，仍能達到行政上、教學上甚至學生作業上的需求，使中文教育更方便更普及。

據統計，目前全球學習中文的人數已達三千萬，預計到二零零七年將有一億人學習中文。近一百個國家的二千三百多所大學開設中文課程。中文除在東南亞國家佔據重要地位外，在美國，中文也已經成為第三大使用語言，全美將中文作為公共外語的大學已經有七百多所，另有五百多所高中開設了中國語言文化課程。
