Like the first character center aligned, the 2nd character underneath (on the next line) again center aligned and so on. (Japanese/Chinese names display option) Thanks for you patience.

The fonts are then listed when activated under "Properties > fonts" under the column where you have all the other Western/US fonts. The fonts used are the "True Type" fonts. Selecting this fonts will display my name in Japanese characters, typed using Twinbridge, the display in the dialog box shows both Japanese names (one typed using Global IME via WORD, the other Twinbridge properly, however in the display of this individual only the one using Twinbridge is shown. If someone of your friends has typed Japanese/Chinese directly into Genopro, they may have used the japanese/chinese Windows version or used a system like Twinbridge or Asian Suite. If you are interested in how it looks I can send you the screen print. So whether it will be possible to type directly into Genopro most probably depends also on whether Windows ME and Global IME will have this support from Microsoft when using the english version of Windows. The idea to align characters the way it is done in Excel will solve however the problem I have asked for in the beginning, Thanks!!
