It's not the same. With the Windows Word keystroke function in the Special
Characters window I can for example, program Ct=Ctrl Shift a to give me a
capital Ä. Apparently you don't believe me.Open your Word program and see
for yourself.

Dear sirs,
I like your Writer word processor, especially because of the included
spell-checking dictionaries for various languages.
However, there is one thing it can't do, and Microsoft Word can do, is
critical for me.
With Word in the "Insert Symbols" window, there is a "Keystroke" function
which allows me to reprogram individual commands on my keyboard.
I write a lot in German using my US keyboard, and I have developed a rapid
system for typing the German umlauts and the Eszet, for example: Ctrl a = ä,
Ctrl A = Ä, Ctrl s = ß, and so on.
This is much faster than using Alt 132, Alt 142, Alt 225, etc. on the
number pad.
Your "Insert Special Characters" window does not allow me to do this.
Thank you for your attention.

Hello Bob,
Tools > Customize > Keyboard > Shortcut keys
will allow you to modify almost any key on your keyboard...
Shortcut keys: Shift+F10 (or some other key that is open and you like) –
Category: Insert – Function: Special Character – Click Modify - Now whenever
you do Shift+F10 you will get the Special Characters table. - After you've
inserted one SC, Shift+F10 will open back up to the same Font and Subset
that you'd selected previously.

Hello Bob,
1. I do believe you (and never said otherwise)
2. It's true: OOo isn't the same as MSO, and doesn't intend to be
3. I can't look at it in Word, because I haven't got that program
4. I used Alt-letter and Ctrl-letter macros all the time in good old
WordPerfect...
5. reply to the list, so others might benefit or help
There are several ways to do this. See

I tend to use the last one. But that's possibly because I found it
before the other two ;-)
