For writing in Spanish and French I change the keyboard language to Spanish, and then assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle between languages. This has the ñ, ç, accent marks, etc. but is a qwerty keyboard so you don't have to learn a new keyboard. You can do this most operating systems.
As for less common symbols such as the €, (R) or (c), I can get them on the mac I'm using now with the alt key. For example, with the Spanish keyboard alt-c = (c) . I'm not sure if that works for other operating systems. ned Edward Blumenthal [email protected] On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 05:35, Robert Citek <[email protected]> wrote: > > Anyone know of a shortcut way to insert special characters into an OOo > Writer document? > > The long way is to click on Insert > Special Characters, search, click > on the one I want, and then click OK: > > http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Inserting_special_characters > > Is there a way to create a shortcut, e.g. something like > Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C for copyright or some combination that involves the > U+ code?
