Here is a description of the options.
Option Description
Show Input Keys Click to select the checkbox to see the key sequences in the
selection palette. This option is the same as choosing Show
Input Keys from the Pencil menu.
Store Characters Click to select the checkbox to keep characters in the input
palette until you are ready to enter the entire word or phrase.
This option is the same as choosing Store Characters from the
Pencil menu.
Show Associated Words Click to select the checkbox to see in the selection palette
suggestions for subsequent characters to enter after you enter a
character. This option is the same as choosing Show Associated
Words from the Pencil menu.
Use Simplified Pinyin Click to select the checkbox to use a version of the Pinyin input
mode that uses a simplified version of the Pinyin phonetic
transcription system.
Keep Input Palette Open Click to select the checkbox to keep the input palette open
after you enter a character. If this option is not selected, the
input palette closes when you enter a character.
Use Dynamic Search Click to select the checkbox to have the input modes show the
selection palette with the characters you can select as you type.
For example, when you press “p,” the selection palette shows
all the characters that start with that sound; when you press “i,”
the palette changes to show all the characters that start with
“pi.” Dynamic search is useful if you are not familiar with Pinyin.
Zhuyin Frequency Options Click to select the checkbox to specify the method the Zhuyin
input mode uses to select a character when the selection
palette appears. The character selected is determined by the
frequency of its use. You can select one of these options:
m
Static—Selects a character based on the order defined by
the input mode.
m Dynamic—Selects the character you have selected most
often. The input mode saves the frequency with which you
use characters.
m Most Recent—Selects the character you selected most
recently.
