I'm not sure that's what I need. I would like OpenOffice to be in English, not French, but do want to be able to enter accented characters as used in French, German, etc., when I select the us-intl keyboard layout. Where can I get documentation on the environment variables OpenOffice build uses, and how OpenOffice uses alternate keyboard layouts? I've googled, but nothing I've encountered describes how to avoid my situation. -- Jim
