I am using v 2.0.2 Open Office. The platform is WindosXP Professional. I am a Hungarian speaker in an English speaking country. To use special characters amounts to a chicken pecking at grains. Is there a keyboard short-cut system where (sorry to say: as in Microsoft Office) keyboard charcaters can be combined with either ALT or CTRL keys to facilitate easy sellection of special characters on an English key-board? This would allow easy flow of typing without having to purchase a keyboard from another country.
There are bi-lingual users and such short-cut facility would be a god-sent. e.g. a short cut run by either visual basic or C++.: รก = CRTL + ' + a This would stop me using MS Office altogether. At the moment I am writing text in one, past and copy into Open Office to have it spell checked. Yours faithfully per Hourglasswisdom
