Convert Hanja to Hangul

If you are not using the Korean language version of Microsoft Office, then this feature is only available if you have installed Microsoft Office XP Proofing Tools for Korean or the Microsoft Office XP Multilingual User Interface Pack, which is available through a volume licensing agreement.

In addition, you must enable support for Korean through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

Convert specific words

  1. Select the Hanja to be converted.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Hangul Hanja Conversion.
  3. In the Hangul Suggestions box, select the appropriate Hangul, and then click Change.

Note   When Hangul and Hanja are mixed in sentences, you need to specify whether to convert Hangul to Hanja or vice-versa. To skip converting an instance of a selected word, click Ignore.

Tip

On a Korean keyboard, you can use the HANJA key or the right CTRL key to display the Hangul Hanja Conversion dialog box.

Convert a word one character at a time

If the Hangul Hanja Conversion dialog box doesn't contain the suggestion you want, you can convert using your own Hangul one character at a time.

  1. Type the word you want to convert, and then select it.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Hangul Hanja Conversion.
  3. Click By Character.
  4. In the Hangul Suggestions box, select the appropriate Hangul character, and then click Change.
  5. Repeat step 4 until the word is converted.

Specify the display of converted Hangul or Hanja
