How to Install Unicode Encoding software:

Click on the "WinVNKey" software that applies to your operating system, saving it into a directory in your computer like D:\Download\Vietnamese. As of October 12, 2005, the following versions are available:

For Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003:

For Windows 98/ME:

For Windows 95:

(Choose the location that's closest to your location.)

Then, go into the folder where you store the 2 programs and double-click "wvnkey40beta3-winnt.exe" first. This is when WinVNKey is installed into your PC.

One method for using Unicode fonts:

Double-click on WinVNkey icon on your desktop, or go this route: "Start/All Programs/Vietnam/WinVNkey Multi-lingual keyboard".

Charset: "4. Unicode"

Output Method: "<Automatic>"

Typing Method: "VIQR - fast"

Keyboard Mode: "Auto combine (Viet)"

Open MS Word or MS Outlook and start typing Vietnamese. Choose new Fonts like "Times New Roman", "Arial" and "Courier New". When putting dia-critical marks using "VIQR - fast," use this technique:

Ư/Ơ: + (press this key first, then press another diacritical mark such as a period if needed)

Â/Ê: ^ (press this key first, then press another diacritical mark such as a period if needed)

Ð: DD, dd, hay Dd (press D twice)

Ă: ( (press this key first, then press another diacritical mark such as a period if needed)

Sắc: ' (single quote)

Huyền: ` (located below the tilde, on the north-east corner of your keyboard)

Hổi: ?

Ngã: ~ (tilde, located on the north-east corner of the keyboard)

Nặng: . (period)

When you don't want automatic Vietnamese encoding, press <Esc> before you press a would-be diacritical mark.

Example:

To get this sentence: Chúa Yê-su đến để cứu mình khỏi ngục tù.

Type these keys: Chu'a Ye^-su dde^'n dde^? Cu+'u mi`nh kho?i ngu.c tu`.<Esc>.
