<snip> Here below, Pradeep, please find the text on the page to which Harold provided a link. I had not difficulty accessing it from my Linux (Ubuntu) computer. The operations there enumerated, however, don't work on my machine, but many of the same results can be obtained, as I have posted previously, through the use of «Alt Gr +» or «Alt Gr + Shift +»....

Please, *please* point me at details of how "many of the same results can be obtained" using Alt Gr or Alt Gr + Shift. I can *only* achieve 5 of the 30 or so accented characters enumerated in the web page I referred to. I'm afraid I don't consider 5 out of 30 to be "many of ..." Of course the operations enumerated on the web site won't work on a Ubuntu Linux system. They are implemented in Microsoft Word. AFAIK that doesn't run on Linux. Or ??? My plea is for the developers of OO to implement that list within Writer etc. so as to make OO more competitive with MS Office and to provide better functionality for multilingual users. Currently OO doesn't even support the Alt key, let alone the combinations shown in that web page. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
