Easier, is to go to <install_dir>/OpenOffice.org/1.1.x/program/ooovirg and execute to reset the keyboard to what you need. That takes care of the keyboard but you may want to either enable/disnumber recognition for various modules or, as a last resort, forget ooovirg and change your locale to something that is near what you need. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
