It sounds like what could be partly done with the Compose Special
Character extension. Typing the Unicode character value to get the
letter/glyph, where %alpha is a shortcut to that.

In OpenOffice, there was provision to insert symbols like:
%aplha
but I found this method is not working in LO
Could it be that you spelled it wrong, like you did above?
My bad luck :-(
It might be. Two days back I tried on LibreOffcie, but it failed, and
need to shift to another PC for using it. But today, I worked. It must
be spelling mistake :-(
Or why not just entering the Unicode for it (α=U+03B1)?
Remembering unicode is not easy for me :-(
You didn't mention your operating system and desktop environment,
Ubuntu / Gnome
but Gnome users type Ctrl+Shift+u 03b1 Enter.
You could also add it to your auto-correction table, but that is not
as convenient in some situations.
Thanks for informing it.
It was long equations and I always found to right equations like:
E = m times c^2
%alpha = %pi over %delta times %gamma
or to make use of dmath
