I am creating a form in Japanese for children. It is suggested that I add "Kana" to make it easier for them to read. Anyone know how to do this? It looks like little symbols above the Japanese character/s.

    If you have InDesign CC, you can install Japanese version of InDesign with English interface and Ruby(furigana) .

    Or using javascript.

    Input Kanji, and furigana in parentheses. 漢(かん)字(じ)

    Seleat characters and run the "ルビにするWordコピペ.jsx" script.

    In general, fonts are installed by your operating system and they may then be used by all programs

    You might search Microsoft – Official Home Page for help with installing fonts in Windows

    In case using fonts are program specific, what program are you using to create your form?
