Bares no relation to 糞
The Kotoba Zamurai Archives ‘Kotoba zamurai’ articles are written to be ‘a non-systematic approach to learning unusual, but useful words.’ While these not-so-serious articles are written with the upper-beginner to intermediate in mind, even beginners should be able to get something out of them. If not, I may have wasted 15 minutes of your life… I will leave it up to you to take the chance. |

| Adding Furigana to Your Microsoft Word Document | Most people have no trouble getting their computer to type Japanese (if you need help with setting up the IME, see our Wagawiki here), but adding furigana (small hiragana over kanji) for documents and PDFs can be a little harder.
This page will discuss how to add furigana in Microsoft Word 2007. Earlier versions of Word also have this feature and the setup may be similar as below. For those without Word, I believe Open Office either has this feature out of the box or as a plugin. |
