...and similarly with other common special characters, of course. Many
thanks - though I'm still intrigued about why Alt-148 behaves so strangely!

Using OOo 2.0.1 with WinXP.
I doubt if I'm the only person in this world who can remember the Alt
numbers of some of the more common special characters, especially those
with accents and umlauts. Besides, using these is often quicker than
fumbling around the Special Character facility on OOo.
One oddity I've noticed with Alt-148 (ö) is that the cursor always seems
to move back such that the character appears before instead of after the
one I've just typed. So far as I remember, this happened with OOo 1.1.x.
(It may also happen with other special characters, but none I routinely
use.)
Is there some reason for this, am I missing something, or is this
(admittedly) a very small bug?
Gareth,
An alternative to using either the Alt sequence or the special Chars dialog,
is to setup an autocorrect so that when you type "o\:" it is autocorrected to
ö.
