Re: [libreoffice-users] Entering special characters in a form in Base
Thanks Robert. That's exactly what I wanted. I somehow knew that there was something I was missing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Entering special characters in a form in Base
Hi Graham, I have created a simple database in Base to catalogue my books and as they are in a number of languages some of the titles and authors' names contain characters with diacritics. I had hoped that I could enter these as special characters as I could in a Writer document but the "special character" item under "insert" in the form view is faded out, i.e. is not active. Is there something I am missing here that would make this item active? Set the cursor in the form control. Click right mouse button → Special Character… or press shift+Ctrl+S Special characters in menue of the wirter document is greyed out, because you can't enter content in the background of the form. It is write protected.

[libreoffice-users] Entering special characters in a form in Base
Hello I have created a simple database in Base to catalogue my books and as they are in a number of languages some of the titles and authors' names contain characters with diacritics. I had hoped that I could enter these as special characters as I could in a Writer document but the "special character" item under "insert" in the form view is faded out, i.e. is not active. Is there something I am missing here that would make this item active? I solved my problem by installing the relevant keyboard layouts but that is not so convenient. My system is Libreoffice 7.5 under Windows 11 and the same applies in LibreOffice 7.4 under LInuxMint 20.3.
