I know Cyrillic is an alphabet. I was actually looking for something like TL Help Cyrillic, which is found in the font menu in MS Word and substitutes the closest Cyrillic letter equivalents as you type on your (Roman) keyboard. I'm not finding anything like that, but the Cyrillic characters do come up if one takes the steps you've suggested.

Cyrillic is not a font but an alphabet - a set of characters that may or may not appear in any font. Cyrillic characters appear in a number of fonts on my system, but I cannot say which, if any, came with OpenOffice. In general, fonts do not need to come with applications: OpenOffice should inherit any fonts properly installed in your operating system. o Go to Insert | Special Character... . o In the Subset drop-down menu, look for "Cyrillic". If it appears, you will see Cyrillic characters; if not, try another font from the Font drop-down menu. The next question you'll want to ask is how to get your system to allow you to type Cyrillic characters directly, as if you had a Russian (or whatever) keyboard. I'll leave others to explain that. I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
