However a free (though not Open Source) utility named “Quick Unicode Input” is available at http://www.cardbox.com/quick.htm . This doesn’t handle characters beyond the base plane but within the base plane allows input of Unicode characters by entering either the decimal value of the character on the Unicode keypad while holding down the Alt key or entering the hex value of the character by entering Alt-numerickeybard-. and then the hex value (on numeric keypad or regular keyboard) while holding down the Alt key. This I believe is the model that OpenOffice.org should follow, save that it should allow input of characters beyond the base plane. Using Quick Unicode Input will probably be sufficient for John Jason Jordan’s needs unless he is using characters beyond the base plane, so that he need not go back to using MS Word. Note that under Windows Vista, if you set up the program to run automatically by putting its icon in the Startup menu folder, it doesn’t work properly, at least on my machine. I have to start it up manually after the current session has booted. But then it works wonderfully. I have no such problems with Windows XP. Perhaps a note in documentation that such free programs exist with a pointer to the website of Quick Unicode Inputm (and any other similar utilities that might appear) would be an acceptable solution for many users until either OpenOffice.org developers or Microsoft provides a solution that works out of the box.

The problem does not exist on Linux, where Ctrl-Shift+u and hex works properly. There is no way to insert characters in the Windows version except by Insert Special Character, or using Windows Character Map utility. Both are extremely clumsy if you need to enter special characters a lot, as I do for linguistics work. For me this is a showstopper. I'm having to use MS Office instead, much as I'd prefer to use OOo. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
