How can I use Wenlin in conjunction with my web browser to study Chinese texts on the Internet?
You can use a regular web browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer, to access the web. Then, when you find a Chinese text that you would like to read using Wenlin, you can copy the text (or a portion of it), using the Copy command in the browser, and then go to Wenlin and use the commands New (to open a blank, untitled window) and Paste. IMPORTANT: If you use a recent (at least 21st century) version of one of the major browsers (such as Netscape or Safari), on a recent Unicode-based operating system (such as Mac OS X or Windows XP), then copying and pasting Chinese generally works just fine, and you probably won’t need to be concerned with the following technicalities. Older browsers and operating systems are more problematic, and with them you may need to choose the appropriate Clipboard Format from Wenlin’s Edit menu, before choosing Paste. There are various ways of encoding Chinese text; fortunately Wenlin is compatible with all the most popular ones, including GB, Big5, UTF-8
