JWPce is a word-processor, and has a built-in IME. (I forget how you invoke it - it's years since I used it.)

To invoke the IME, hold down for the first (romaji) character typed. It will convert on the next shifted character, a punctuation mark or whitespace. A list of possible conversions will be given at the bottom of the main window. I forget how to cycle through them without using the mouse; it should be in the help somewhere.

Thanks for the reply mate, but June/July is too soon for me, otherwise it would've been good. Thanks again

No, the one I mean was "jitenize":
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jitenize/files/

There's a YouTube video of how to install and use it:

It has a nice option that you can get it to create numbered footnotes containing translations. In fact that's its purpose, but you can use it in hover mode as well.

or maybe

http://code.google.com/p/itadaki/ (Looks like the bottom 3 downloads on this page are the relevant ones?)

Is that the one you're referring to Jim? (The second one offers compiled versions of the latest development repository, so it's a tiny bit more "up to date" (offering 1.0alpha2 instead of 1.0alpha1), but isn't the actual author or authoritative source etc.)
