Inputting Chinese character strokes in a Word document can be achieved in several ways, such as using the built-in Chinese character input method for stroke input, using specific stroke fonts or plug-ins, inserting symbols or the hand-drawing pad function, etc. Among them, using the built-in Microsoft Pinyin or Wubi font input method is one of the simple and efficient methods. After switching to the corresponding input method, the user can input strokes according to the standard stroke order of Chinese characters.
Let’s explore in further detail how to enter Chinese character strokes in a Word document.
1. Use Microsoft Pinyin Input Method
Activate stroke input function
To use the Microsoft Pinyin input method to input strokes, you first need to open a Word document and switch to the Microsoft Pinyin input method. Then find the input method settings, where you can activate the stroke input function.
Enter Chinese character strokes
After the stroke input function is activated, you can type directly in the stroke order of Chinese characters when typing. For example, type "一" for "horizontal", type "丨" for "vertical", type "丿" for "posterior", type "丶" for "point", etc. In this way, Word will automatically match the corresponding Chinese characters based on the input strokes.
2. Use Wubi input method
Switch input method
In addition to Microsoft Pinyin, Wubi font is also a common Chinese character input method, which combines letters on the keyboard according to the stroke structure of Chinese characters. First, you need to switch the input method to Wubi.
Type the Wubi code of Chinese characters
In a Word document, characters are input by typing the Wubi encoding of Chinese characters according to the rules of the Wubi font. Each Chinese character has a corresponding code in the Wubi input method, which requires the user to have certain knowledge of Wubi input in advance.
3. Use stroke fonts or plug-ins
Install specific stroke fonts
There are some specialized stroke fonts available on the Internet, such as "Chinese character stroke fonts". After installing these fonts, users can switch to these fonts in Word, and then directly enter the corresponding characters through the keyboard to represent the strokes of Chinese characters.
Use stroke plug-in
Some Word plug-ins developed by third parties can assist in inputting Chinese character strokes. These plug-ins usually have richer functions, such as displaying stroke order, stroke names, etc., but require users to download and install the corresponding plug-ins.
4. Insert symbol function
Using Word’s caret symbol
Word provides the "insert symbol" function, which includes some basic Chinese character strokes. By clicking "Symbol" in the "Insert" menu, you can open the symbol library, select and insert the desired Chinese character pen back into the document.
Custom symbol set
If the desired stroke is not available in Word's preset symbol set, users can also add or create their own symbols. You can edit existing symbols or import externally designed symbol graphics and save them in the "Customized Symbol Set" for later use.
5. Use the hand-painted board function
Handwriting input Chinese character strokes
Word's handwriting pad function allows users to use a mouse or touch pen to handwrite Chinese characters directly in the document. Although the accuracy of strokes depends on the user's drawing skills, it provides a very intuitive way to draw back Chinese characters.
Convert handwriting to text
For devices equipped with a touch screen, users can handwrite Chinese character strokes directly on the screen, and then Word can convert these stylus strokes into Chinese characters in standard text format to facilitate further editing and formatting operations.
Through the above method, users can input Chinese character strokes on demand in Word documents. The important thing is to choose a method that you are familiar with and suitable for to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the editing process.
