[Solved] Special characters insertion or French and Spanish
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:30 am
SOLVED Good morning
i have installed open office tm 4 on my new Mac desktop and have been going through the various tutorials for Open office , which in general is quite impressive
However i have hit a snag : i write a lot in French and Spanish ( a lot of my documents will mix 2 or 3 languages ) and i am at a loss to find an easy way to insert accents for French and Spanish
The only thing i have found is a well populated grid of zillions of characters which i need to click to get the right accents ..a method which i thought had long been put to bed for being too cumbersome and time consuming
I guess i have been spoilt by the method of pressing the letter which should be adorned with a special character long enough for a window to appear and you select the right one ..( available in gmail , in my word for mac on my previous lap top and on my iPad )
Is there not a similar way for Open Office ?
(i have downloaded an extension " accentuate " but may be because i did not do it properly i do not get it to work )
All ideas and advice gratefully received
