So, now you're hitting 3 or 4 keys and you'd have to set up something for each special character. I just press right Alt & 5 to get €. Again, it's so easy to set up the U.S. International layout on Linux & Windows (no idea about Mac) that there's no need to use those tricks. I have my keyboard configured to support U.S. English, U.S. International and Greek (for electronics symbols). I can easily switch among them as needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
