Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 85267
Special Character Dialog Box closes after inserting one Symbol
Last modified: 2008-01-15 15:59:56 UTC
The Special Character Dialog Box ( Insert --> Special Character) closes after the user selects a special character and either double clicks it or presses OK. If the users wants to insert multiple special characters then this process has to be repeated as many times. An analogous functionality is present in MS- Office Word where the dialog box remains available after inserting special symbols.
It is much easier. You only need to single click the characters you want to add. At the bottom of the dialog there's a list "characters" where all symbols you have clicked are collected.
Closed. There also are Enhancement/Feature issues regarding th special character dialog.
