I have to slap my own hands - dumb.
I was not clear - When I say I have to switch languages, I am using OpenOffice (trying to replace MS Ofc) and have to use text and graphics in the same document. So, I don't think that I could use emacs since it is a text only editor.

Why not install emacs and leim? Use menu->Options->Mule and select
language environment to European->latin-9. Then toggle the input
method from the same menu and pick the default. Now you can type ~c
and get a c cedille and 'e to automatically get an e accent aigu. To
find the exact keybindings, pick Describe Input Method from the same
menu. Easy as pie!
