The problem is not how to make the assignment. Let me explain further. I am writing this on an Ubuntu computer on which I have OOo installed. In OOo Ctrl-Shift-u is *unassigned*. However, if I type Ctrl-Shift-u in OOo I get the option to enter a Unicode hex value, which will then place the character for that value in the document. My point is that Ctrl-Shift-u is a feature of the operating system. It works in all programs. It does not need to be assigned in OOo. For some reason OOo on the user's computer is blocking this feature of the operating system. It does not block it on my computer, or on any other Linux computer that I have ever worked with. I can't figure out why OOo is blocking Ctrl-Shift-u on the user's computer. Initially I thought that perhaps someone had assigned Ctrl-Shift-u to some other function in her OOo. But she checked and it is unassigned. And the feature is working as it is supposed to in Ubuntu, because she can use it in all other programs. There must be a setting somewhere to block this feature, but I can't find it. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
