Is there a way to view what I'm working on within the Author is Japanese. I have some tweaks to make, but all I'm seeing now in the body are boxes.

Hello,

If you are running Windows XP you will first have to enable the support for East Asian languages. You can do this in Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages, Install files for East Asian languages. Be aware that this may ask for the Windows XP installation CD so it can copy files from it.

Other than that, just make sure the proper font is set in Oxygen(Options -> Preferences -> Fonts, Editor). The default font, Monospaced usually works after installing the support in XP. You can also use Serif or SansSerif(not MS Sans Serif).
Also, for the Author mode you will find the font setting in the same location under "Author default font". You will want to change that one since the default(Times New Roman) can't handle Japanese. The same applies as for the editor font, try Serif or SansSerif(not MS Sans Serif).

Regards,
Adrian
