For example, when I try to type "page" I want to get 'ページ' but all I can get is 'ペイジ'. (I got the lengthening stoke for this example by copy/paste from a website).

I thought that might have been it but when I try that the '-' goes back one space and covers the ぺ character. It looks now though like that might be a problem in OpenOffice specifically though. Have either of you run into that before? If so, do you know what might fix it? Madison

Hi all, I hope this is an on-topic question. :) I have started using 'canna' as my Japanese input method and so far it's working pretty well. The one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to type the '-' (lengthening stoke) on katakana words. For example, when I try to type "page" I want to get 'ページ' but all I can get is 'ペイジ'. (I got the lengthening stoke for this example by copy/paste from a website). Would anyone using 'canna' be able to tell me how I can get the '-' stroke in katakana? Thank you very much in advance! Madison PS - I am running Debian 3.1 with Gnome2 using UIM as my input method switcher, in case that makes a difference. --
