Gentlemen/Ladies:
In years past, I've been able to define keyboard key-combinations in
WordPerfect to obtain special characters. Those special characters were
the Hawaiian native language letters with a solid line above both
upper-case & lower-case vowels. I've never found that ability in Word.
Now, with my desire to use OOo for my office suite of choice, I'd very
much like to regain that ability.
I can't remember the specifics, but seem to recall using <Shift><Alt><A>
to produce an upper-case "A" with the horizontal line above the
character. This key combination was assigned a numerical keypad number
combination as defined in the WordPerfect documentation. For lower-case
vowels, I substituted the <Ctrl> key for the <Shift> key in the above
sample.
I realize this won't be a high priority, but just the same, I would like
to take this opportunity to place a request for this character creation
ability.
Thank you for allowing me to submit this request. I really enjoy using
OOo & am doing it 100% of the time, now that I can produce documents
readable by those folks I haven't yet succeeded in getting to make the
changeover... I'll keep workin' on 'em, though. :-)
Respectfully, Dave
Hi Dave
I see those characters exist as "special characters" in some widely used
fonts at least.
You should be able to associate these with keystrokes. See the help file
for "keyboard;assigning/editing shortcut keys"
