Jim, Thanks for the link to the Quick Unicode Input Tool. I have it installed and it works fine. I also went to the bug report and added a comment that it is still not fixed and that it is really more important to a lot of users than OOo developers seem to think it is. If it weren't for the Quick Unicode Input Tool I wouldn't be able to use OOo on Windows at all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
