Hi, is anyone able to help Dave because I don't know myself, as I've never
used Linux, and my time is sort of taken up with Calc at the mo with the
final push to meet Jean's deadline.
Thanks

Subject: special characters ir writer
To: clairedw...@googlemail.com
Hi Claire,
Do you know if their are equivalent alt codes to insert special characters
in the linux version of writer?
I use characters like ê, ë, ï on a regular basis in the windows environment.
Their respective alt code are 136, 137 and 139. I would like to migrate to
Linux but inserting special characters through the menu is simply too time
consuming.
The code on the special character dialogue for ë is U+00EB (235) but I do
not know how to implement this. What does the U mean?
Regards
Dave
Hi, Claire, Dave,
I can recommend the "Compose Special Characters" extension (which is, of
course, platform-independent). Follow the link from Tools > Extension
Manager to "Get more extensions", download and install.
If I Recall Correctly, one can define a keyboard character sequence
(hot-key, like Ctrl+Alt+U), then type 00EB{hot-key here} and get the
special character. There is another hot-key definable for things like
"e:{hot-key-2 here}" for even quicker common sequences.
