I'm not sure that's what I need. I would like OpenOffice to be in English, |
| 19 |
not French, but do want to be able to enter accented characters as used in |
| 20 |
French, German, etc., when I select the us-intl keyboard layout. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Where can I get documentation on the environment variables OpenOffice build |
| 23 |
uses, and how OpenOffice uses alternate keyboard layouts? I've googled, but |
| 24 |
nothing I've encountered describes how to avoid my situation. |
