Hi Graham,
I have created a simple database in Base to catalogue my books and as they are in a number of languages some of the titles and authors' names contain characters with diacritics. I had hoped that I could enter these as special characters as I could in a Writer document but the "special character" item under "insert" in the form view is faded out, i.e. is not active. Is there something I am missing here that would make this item active?
Set the cursor in the form control. Click right mouse button → Special Character… or press shift+Ctrl+SSpecial characters in menue of the wirter document is greyed out, because you can't enter content in the background of the form. It is write protected.
