I'm not 100 % sure, but I can type accents just by hitting "`" and "a"
and get "=C3=A0". This might depend on the locale setting or the keyboard
type. So, perhaps you can just try my method and see if it works for
you.=20

If it doesn't, then you can define your own keyboard shortcuts in OOo.
In this case you can select, if this shortcut is only available in
Writer, Calc, Impress or if it is available in all programs. Check
"Tools > Customise > Keyboard".=20

Hope, this helps.=20

Hello,

I am preparing documents in OOo often in Slovak and Hungarian. These
languages are using accents much more often then in French or Spanish
and I am fully satisfied with locale settings, no need extra keyboard
sortcuts.

regards

Tomas
