Folks,
I have been following this discussion perhaps it is time for my story.
I teach Hebrew and Greek in a Chinese language school and must prepare
material for students in those languages. I use Openoffice and now
Libreoffice exclusively. I used to insert the needed characters special
characters.
It wasn't enough to have the fonts. I wanted to work within OO and LO and
needed a way to key these into my documents directly.
I finally found some really decent fonts (SIL) and a splendid keyboarding
program from Tavultesoft www.tavultesoft.com and . Now I can type these
languages nearly as easily as English ... accents ... jots ... tittles ...
breathing marks ... everything. Some folks in a Greek monastery provided a
Tavultesoft keyboard that runs inside OO and LO.
Tavultesoft is proprietary, but it has answered my problems (Even
Chinese!). Maybe it will do for you as well.

Thanks for the help.
I installed the ComposeSpecialCharacter extension - no problems.
Although I have to admit it took me several attempts to set it up so that
I
could get it work with this key combo:
A+`+shift+ctrl+z (5 keys).
However, it seems that the most frequently used accents are visible in the
table so it may be faster for me to just select the accent needed and
press
insert.
As for the other option of letting the spell checker fix misspelled words,
well I'll try that another day. I think that I have currently have the
French dictionary installed but I can't be sure. It is listed in my
extensions so I would assume that it is installed and available. So when I
write my next paper I'll give this a try.
Thanks for your prompt replies.
