Hi!

After few days looking info on it, I found the solution. Working on
kubutu, happens that Open Office can't use the special characters. I
thought that was only using Open Office, because other programs hadn't
that problem. I also sent an e-mail to another developer and told me
where was the "mistake". It's simple, just type
"sudo gedit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" (using kate) and added
"es_ES.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15" at the end (I'm spanish, for this reason
I use the accents). Then, I also had to change:
"sudo gedit /etc/environment" delete the Lang and put this:

LANG="es_ES.ISO8859-15"
LANGUAGE="es_ES:es:en_GB:en"

Finally, just reboot, and that was.

Thanks for the help, I've just left from Windows and I've seen that this
is much better.

Thank you.
