An indispensible tool for inputting non-ASCII glyphs, e g, CJK languages, from a standard keyboard on non-Windows platforms, e g, Linux. Here's a link :http://www.scim-im.org/. Instructions for configuring SCIM in Ubuntu can be found here (http://tinyurl.com/275sb8). Once this is done, the tool can be used in all compatible word processors, including OOo.
