Hey Roger, you're describing the Canadian French keyboard layout here. IMHO that has nothing to do with Open Office and I think you'll find nothing about this in Open Office's FAQ. There're surely at least 2 keyboard layouts installed on your computer: US-International and Canadian French. What's your operating system? Windows? Linux? MacOS? Which version? If you want an overview of the main keyboard layouts available with Windows, look at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.mspx. JF
