Macintosh. 
TransRoman
Dictionary
in Unicode for Windows
The product includes two keyboard layouts that support four characters
per key (instead of the normal two) in Windows 7, Vista, XP and Windows 2000
SP3. One keyboard layout takes advantage of the OpenType layout features
built into the fonts for the most logical, intuitive input possible. Input
order is letter, accent. The letter with its associated
accents
is built up automatically as you type, with all accents perfectly
positioned. This keyboard requires Word 2010, 2007, 2003,
LibreOffice, or
OpenOffice.org
3.0. It may work with other applications, as well.
The other keyboard layout uses a dead key input
method. The user types a key representing an accent, and nothing appears to
happen on screen. Then the user types the letter to be modified, and the
keyboard driver inputs the composite, pre-formed letter with its accent(s).
This keyboard layout is supported by all Unicode-compatible software.
Windows System Requirements:
 | Operating Systems
 | Requires Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3. |
|
 | Applications
 |
Requires any Unicode-compatible
application, including Microsoft Office (except PowerPoint 2003 and
earlier), Adobe InDesign, and QuarkXPress 7 and newer,
LibreOffice,
or OpenOffice.org
3.0. |
 |
The OpenType keyboard requires Microsoft Word
2010, 2007, 2003
(or another
component of Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003, except Microsoft PowerPoint
2003, which is not compatible), or LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org 3.0. |
 |
Older, non-Unicode applications such as
QuarkXPress 6.5 and earlier, PageMaker, and Corel WordPerfect are not compatible. |
 |
Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 (included in
Microsoft Office 2003) is not compatible with TransRoman
Dictionary in
Unicode for Windows. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether
typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from
Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their
text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the
text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use
WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert,
Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired.
Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our
non-Unicode TransRoman Dictionary fonts. |

For non-Unicode versions of the above fonts, available for both Windows
and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode TransRoman Dictionary fonts are
not interchangeable with TransRoman Dictionary in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of TransRoman Dictionary, may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however,
interchangeable.
