How do I type Malayalam text?

Office for Mac does not really support Indic scripts. I think every other app should work ok.

As with any language, you go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for the language you want. Also check the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar. Also check the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then you go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and select the language you want and type. Select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu to see which key does what.

Just ask if you have additional questions.

I was not able to see the "Select Keyboard Viewer" from the same menu(?)

That means that you did not yet check the box called Keyboard Viewer back in the Input Sources preferences pane.

If you will tell us exactly what you think is missing, we can probably tell you how to make it.

You can see for yourself the difference between the keyboards by using Keyboard Viewer. To get that, check its box in system prefs/language & text/input sources and then select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

Things have changed. You need to go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources to activate the Malayalam and other keyboards.

PS There is a bug in the Apple Malayalam font, see

PS MS Word for Mac has never supported Indic scripts, so don't try to use that. Any other app should work OK.
