I'm not sure if this is a SuSE, XFree or StarOffice question (or possibly a mixture of them!) but I wonder if any of you can help: My system has a US-style keyboard, and in all applications EXCEPT dear old Star Office I can type accented characters quite easily, using right-ctrl+accent, then letter. However in Star Office I cannot get any character with a grave accent (for example: è or à - see, even Netscape lets me type them ;-)) unless I laboriously paste it in from something else. All others are fine (acute, cedilla, etc.) but not grave! I've poked around Sun/Star Office support with no luck, and fiddled a little with my X setup, but still it's just Star Office that won't play. You know how people often say things like "This is the last problem I have before Linux becomes my everyday/desktop/work/preferred etc operating system". Well, for me "This is my last problem before Linux becomes our household operating system." My wife is French and keeps (not unreasonably!) saying that we should go back to MS Word. Typing in French without all your accents is kinda frustrating... Help!!!
