I have never used the English version of OE, or any other post-1994 
Microsoft software. I came to Japan with a 486-33 notebook PC and 
Windows 3.1 that cost me my entire US savings. My first desktop was a 
home-made PC with Windows95-Japanese, and I went through 98, 98SE, and 
now W2K -- all in Japanese with Japanese MS Office, Japanese versions of 
Photoshop, etc. Even my Dreamweaver and other Macromedia programs are 
Japanese. The only US software I have are games, and I don't even do 
games anymore. Although this made building my first PC and 
troubleshooting the company network a pain at first, I think it helped 
me to reach literacy in Japanese. Also, I can use both J and E 
tutorials, which must be a plus.

But the bottom line is that I am looking for a program that will 
comparable to Japanese OE in its ability to handle Japanese, and I 
appreciate everyone's recommendations. I will go through them one by 
one, taking my time to get a feel for each.

Thank you again,
