I checked with "2.0.2  German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can not
confirm that problem.

@probe1:
Still a problem with OOo 2.1?
What LINUX do you use?

re-tested with OOo 2.1 680m6 build 9095 with same result.
This is SuSE Linux 9.3 with Kernel 2.6.11.4-21.15-default
Comment 6 Rainer Bielefeld 2007-01-12 18:18:27 UTC 
I can't help here.
Comment 7 probe1 2007-01-12 22:19:49 UTC 
2007-01-12
same on SuSE 10.1 2.6.16.13-4-smp with OOo 680m6 9095

Will have access to a XPpro installation next week and cross check.

Q: is there any configuration possible for (Linux) system clipboards?
Having the problem with those special characters on one platform (only)
indicates a mismatch in codepage used or an interface problem.
Comment 8 hagar_de_lest 2007-05-24 10:39:40 UTC 
Confirmed on 2.2 en-US version with French language pack (official RPMs) under
Ubuntu Dapper, locale is fr_FR.UTF-8 :
When special characters are pasted as DDE link (either coming from Calc or
Writer) into Writer (or Calc), they're not correctly displayed, here is a sample
of the result :
€ -> €
£ -> £
¤ -> ¤
µ -> µ
$ -> $ (OK)
@ -> @ (OK)

Also reported here : http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=39424
(under 2.0.2 but OS has not been given).
