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.
