Is there a way to copy Chinese text (from either a web page, or Word doc) to a Photoshop layer?

As was mentioned previously, you can do it if you have Chinese language capability installed and Chinese fonts. You may have to first select a chinese font after selected the text tool (if you get a nonsense character instead of a character, you could also try selecting the pasted text and then changing the font to a Chinese one).
If you don't have Chinese language capability (web browsers and word processors can sometimes display the text even without system-support for that language), you only choice is to do a screen shot and paste in the bitmap at low resolution. You can squeeze a little more quality out of screenshots done in this way by making the text as big as possilbe and changing your resolution to 640 x 480 so it's as large as possible. You can then resample it to a larger resolution in Photoshop before pasting it into a layer (it'll make the text smaller, of course).

Sellect text, copy then in photoshop select the text tool click where you want the text then paste.

But this won't work unless you have the font installed...
I do have it figured out though. I installed 13 (count 'em, 13!) Chinese fonts from my XP install CD, and now I have the ability to paste Chinese characters... where as before, it would just past a blank white space.

In comp.graphics.apps.photoshop, SamMan ordered an army of hamsters to type:

What version of Photoshop is it. Only later versions i believe are compatable with the Input Method Editor. I find i have to type things up in word and then printscreen and paste into my copy of Photoshop 5.

Just an aside - I am working on a China related site and consulted a Chinese language scholar about some of the symbols I wanted to use. Good thing, too. Be very careful that what you copy says what you presume it says, and when you paste, be sure the characters you get are exactly like the ones you copy, lest you 'say' something hugely wrong.
Thanks for the tip. I have a co-worker from Singapore, and he as taught me that there are many subtleties in the spoken word. A change in inflection, and you have gave it a new meaning, or said something else. I don't doubt it is the same with characters!
