For anyone who's good at touch typing, that would slow them down.

No need to do anything "special" to get "special" characters (like the
euro symbol) if you're using any Microsoft OS, from Windows XP up to
Windows 7. Just use the Windows "Character Map Utility" that came
installed on your computer when you bought it.

If he's running Windows (I thought the OP said OS/2), it's a simple
matter to select the U.S  International layout, to get the € symbol and
many others.  You can even enable multiple layouts and switch among them.

saving spreadsheet

2016-03-01 Thread Steve Dunlap
Hello,

My father downloaded open office with success. He has a rw dvd that he uses to 
save spreadsheets. The original spreadsheet was developed using microsoft 
office. When he made changes using the open office calc spreadsheet and tried 
to save the changes he got a message saying the revised spreadsheet could not 
be saved to rw dvd.

Any suggestions of how he can save it to the rw dvd?

Thanks

Steve Dunlap
