You should be able to switch the layout of your keyboard, see:

Thank you very much .

I am able to switch the keyboard.

However, the on-screen keyboard disappear when I move the mouse cursor over it to type. How do I maintain the on screen virtual keyboard ( by microsoft ) on the screen to enable me to type the text. Or perhaps, if there is other on screen keyboard compatible with OpenOffice that I can download.
