To the word.  In some cases of kanji for Yamato words the yomi doesn't
really fit the kanji character for character anyway, so you may as
well not even try, except in special cases where you want to emphasize
the character by character readings.

Heh.  Haven't used rubies in a long time, but in Emacs auctex mode it
would be something like

M-@	; mark word
¥ruby	; enter ptex macro
RET	; auto-enter syntax, leave point in right place
KANJI	; henkan mode
eiga	; romaji entry
RET	; confirm hiragana

and of course you could put that on a single keystroke up to the KANJI
point.

Also of course, it's What-You-See-Is-What-You-Typed, not
What-You-See-Is-What-Some-Artificially-Idiotic-Program-Guesses-Wrong.
I consider that an advantage, but most people don't.  ;-)

Actually, come to think of it, in Open Office for most cases you could
just use Shift-LeftArrow to mark the kanji and then enter the ruby
editor with minimum fuss---probably a good habit to get into.  If
you're constructing a personal dictionary, this would be perfect:

KANJI eiga SPACE RET LEFT LEFT RUBYEDIT eiga RET

It's hard to imagine more efficiency than that.  Unless you've got a
programmable input method, so that you could imagine

KANJI eiga SAVEFORRUBY HENKAN RET

That's probably doable in Emacs, but not out of the box.
