You change keyboard layouts via your operating system/desktop manager and not with Openoffice. The language variables in Openoffice are for spellchecking and have no impact on inputting different languages. I use both a British English (default) and Spanish keyboard (for Spanish, French and Catalan) and the actual physical keyboard has the Spanish character set painted on the keys (ñçéô etc.). I have a little applet that sits on my system tray at the bottom of the screen with a little flag. I click on that to change keyboard input - nothing to do with openoffice. I suppose that Mac should have something similar, no? Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/ Please do not send me copies of list mail. I read the lists. Thanks!
