I'm not sure when this started because I almost never open MS type
docs and when I do it is only to read them. Yesterday I found out,
quite by accident, that everyone in our offices, is unable to use
the deadkey accents for á é í ó ú etc but the ñ works fine so it
seems to be limited to the dead keys. I'm writing this in KDE ( all
deadkeys work as expected in all kde apps) in term windows, even in
ttyv[0.7] so it seems to be 100% openoffice centric.
The Spanish spell check works fine and a cut and paste of an
accented vowel works fine ( the current local work around).
I experienced some OpenOffice.org input problems (specifically with
deadkeys) caused by certain combinations of OpenOffice.org, Xorg and
input method such as SCIM. So first, what input method do you use?
I didn't even realize that there were multiple input methods from a
laptop keyboard. Smart Common Input Method, I doubt because it
doesn't seem to be very smart.
Openoffice is the only program that has any problems. Skype, pidgen,
term windows, Konsole, even gimp work perfectly.
Has anyone else seen this and found a configuration or build option
that I'm missing? Should I open a PR? I did try OpenOffice.org-3
and the same problem plus I didn't see an obvious way to download
the spelling wizard with it so I blew it away.
Please see this:

Spell check works perfectly. Using it and cut and paste from other
applications is the way we are working.
Thanks a bunch and I'm sorry about my not understanding SCIM. I found
it on wikipedia. I'll read some more but it seems to be over kill in
this case.

Best wishes.
