Can you point me to a guide for this? I mean, for the appropriate way to input pinyin in word?

@JohnTortugo：Only the ü should be pressed as "v". The others are the same as what you can see on our keyboards. You can download 搜狗拼音 at http://pinyin.sogou.com/index.php，This is better than the original one at Windows.

<p>when I try to type "girl" in pinyin I got the wrong characters completed. That is, I enter <code>nuhai</code> I got this: 奴孩  is this the correct character for girl?</p>

Accurately, The pinyin of "女" is "nü", and generally use "v" to stand for it. So just type "nv"

In Chinese , you should press **"nv"** instead of "nu". "v" here means "ü" in pronunciation.
