Thank you for your message. Where do you write from ? Considering your
name, you might be a Franco-Canadian from upper Vermont or New
Hampshire, or Louisiana... However, I've solved half of my problem,
but I am still looking for the shortcut keys for opening and closing
braces. Also, I've never used "copy and paste" on my new Mac (bought
Monday). How do you proceed for "copy and paste" on a Mac ? Thank you.
Merci d'avance, et même si je peux écrire en anglais, je suis toujours
heureux d'échanger des messages en français.
I am not sure what you mean by "opening and closing braces" could you
elaborate on what these are? Perhaps they are just called something
different than what I'm familiar with. Are you able to use them without
a shortcut? If so, could you explain how you are doing it without
shortcuts? You can create your own or edit shortcut keys by going to
"Tools-Customize" and clicking the "Keyboard" tab.
You mentioned something in a previous email about special characters,
which can be accessed by clicking "Insert-Special Character" which
brings up the OpenOffice.org (Ooo) equivalent to Windows' character
mapper. When clicking on a character it shows what is supposed to be a
shortcut sequence, however I don't know how that is supposed to work as
it doesn't make sense to me. I don't know anything about Macs, sorry.
The windows shortcuts do seem to work in Ooo though, for example to get
é I press alt + 0233. I don't know if Mac has a universal character
mapper or if so if it's different.
On windows control+C achieves copy and control+V achieves paste. I
would assume that right-clicking and manually selecting "copy" and then
"paste" would work regardless, or using the menus "Edit-Copy" and
"Edit-Paste".
I am writing from Tennessee, I grew up in California. I took two
years of French in school, so I understand a little bit, enough to often
get the idea of part of what someone says. (I think you said something
to the effect of "thank you in advance" and perhaps something about
being able to write in English but being glad to exchange messages in
French.) My name comes from my husband who's family has roots that are
Canadian French. My father-in-law likes to be called "Papier" by the
kids since that's what he used to call his Grandpa. My maiden name,
Frandsen, I have heard but am not certain, comes from a Danish
background, but the red hair I got from my dad implies some Irish may
have snuck in somewhere along the line. My family on my mom's side
comes from Luxembourg.
I am happy to exchange messages and brush up on my French, although
since this is a public mailing list pertaining to OpenOffice and how it
is used it would be better to send a personal email or to subscribe to
the social email group, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Also it has been made known to me that most subscribers prefer to
have everyone reply at the bottom of a certain conversation. I think it
just makes things easier on readers so everyone does the same thing and
it reads in chronological order for anyone jumping in on a topic.
à tout à l'heure!
