Ah, weird. Both methods have never worked in OOo on my Ubuntu Dapper (but I
install from the OOo RPMs).
I've looked at the OOo options and haven't found any setting that may be
related with this.
Some Google search ahead I think.

This is an old bug, see here :
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48666
A shame it's available in all applications (under Linux) except OOo !
Thanks, but I don't think it is a bug. I think the problem is that I
changed some setting in Tools > Options (or elsewhere) that
inadvertently turned it off. I say this because it worked the old way
(Ctrl+Shift+hex) until I switched from 2.02 under Dapper to 2.04 under
Edgy., at which point I discovered that the method had been changed to
Ctrl-Shift+u, enter hex number, then spacebar. That method continued to
work after I upgraded from 2.04 under Edgy to 2.2 under Feisty. In
other words, it was working in 2.2 under Feisty just the other day.
Suddenly now it doesn't work at all. I check Update Manager weekly, but
I don't recall any updates for OOo or anything else that could have
affected this.
I also have a dekstop computer with Feisty and OOo 2.2, where the
feature still works fine. I t must be something I did, but I have
scoured the settings in Tools > Options and can't find anything. The
only thing I know for sure that I did recently was to edit my
dictionary settings. I removed a bunch of mistyped words from my
auto-completion file and I also went into Tools > Options > Language >
Writing Aids and edited my user dictionary settings. All I did in there
was add an = to the end of all the personal names so Writer wouldn't
hyphenate them. Neither action should have turned off entering Unicode
characters, but something did and that's the only change I have made
recently.
I can still enter characters with Insert > Special Character, but that
is very time consuming. I'm a linguistics major and I need to type IPA
characters constantly so I need to get this feature working again. Any
suggestions?
