 <h3>I want to insert special characters with keyboard shortcuts. How do I do this?</h3>
 <P>From OpenOffice.org Version 1.1 on you can use the built in macro recorder.
 To assign a character to a key, follow these steps:</P>
 <UL>
 <LI>Select Tools > Macro > Record to start the recording process.
 <LI>Now click Insert > Special Character and choose the character you want,
 then insert it and close the special character dialog.
 <LI>Click on "Stop recording" in the small macro recorder dialog.
 <LI>A dialog appears asking you to save the macro with a name.
 Be sure to save it under Standard, not in the tree for the document currently open.
 That way you'll be able to use the macro use it any time a OOo Writer window is open.
 </UL>
 <P>Now that you have recorded the macro, you'll need to assign it to a keystroke.</P>
 <UL>
 <LI>Select > Tools > Macro > Macros ..., then > Assign.
 <LI>Now follow > Keyboard > Functions and find your macro using the Category tree.
 Your macro will appear in the Function window when you've found the right module.
 <LI>Select a keystroke in the Shortcut Keys list, and click Modify.
 The key you have selected will appear in the Keys window.
 </UL>
