Hi Eric, Generally this is an issue of missing fonts rather than a missing feature of OpenOffice.org. If you are using a recent version of OpenOffice.org e.g. 1.1.4 then try "File" -> "Autopilot" -> "Install Font" and select a Kanji font. If this does not work then you could also email the Japanese OpenOffice.org community at http://ja.openoffice.org -> Mailing list.
