I've been having the same problem and haven't been able to fix it. But try scanning the archives of [EMAIL PROTECTED], there have been several long threads about locales and how to use them with OO.o. Or you can post there directly -- in my experience, that's where the most extensive knowledge about OO.o-specific problems resides.
good luck! let me know if you fix this problem -- I'd love to get special characters working on my box, too! matt On Sat, Nov 30, 2002 at 01:56:28PM +0100, fLokNo wrote: > hello! > > how do i enable special (german) characters in openoffice like äöü. > i have an english keyboard that works fine with evolution/mozilla etc. > there i press " and then a which gives me ä. > > in oo this procedure doesnt work, how to enable it. > > keyboard in x is us_intl with 105 keys. > > thanks for help! > > --flo > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
