Ian's alt key handler is the easiest way to do that.

It appears that the Writer's (2.0.2) InsertSpecial Characters feature

Thanks a lot

Hi,
The past periods I had to write some French letters. This needs a lot of
special characters like é, è, à etc. To select and insert these
characters through the special character dialog (insert - special
character ) gets very annoying and makes the work slow.
Does anyone know
Many thanks for your help. The problem is solved!

Hello Sigrid,
Do you have keys with the needed symbols (accents)? If yes, try to press
the key with the accent first and then the other letter, for example `
and then a to get à.
This would be my solution, but it does not seem to activate (yesterday
it did but I do not know how I did it).
Dear Victor,
If you're using Windows, you can download a utility for typing most
Latin-alphabet languages (including many not catered for by the
US-International layout) from my personal webpage:
http://www.personal.leeds.ac.uk/~ecl6tam .
Naturally, the utility is freeware.

I just tried Alt-148 with OOo Writer 1.1.5 and the ö was inserted
exactly where it should be. Seems like your problem is not a OOo bug or
maybe there is a setting somewhere... I use a Swedish keyboard and Alt-148
gives me exactly the same result as the ö key.
An easier way to insert
Thanks for this. Oddly enough, I used an old version of AllChars on my
previous set-up, and found it ideal for the job (very easy to
remember!). Trouble was, it wouldn't work when I changed to WinXP.
Should have downloaded an updated one - silly me...

If you have a word that always has the same special characters in it,
you can add it to your auto correct list. Then, when you type it with
no special letters followed by a space it automatically gets replaced
with the correct spelling including all the special characters.
Obviously, this
When I click on the ñ it says U+00F1 (241) but I don't know what to do with

If you know the Unicode number (241 in this case), you can press and

make it *four digits*, however. If you only have three-digit numbers,

If I need to type something like ¿Cómo estás? ¡Feliz Cumpleaños! or comment ça

Insert Special Characters and fumble around until I find an ñ in the table.
