You should update to koffice-1.1.1, it's so much better than 1.0 ;)

Anyway, for a special char: either use the "Insert special character" dialog,
configure your XFree to use dead keys (see your favourite XFree config tool, I 
suppose)... or there are some special key combinations on keyboards with 
AltGr (hmm, seems to work with UK keyboards but not with US keyboards, since 
they have no AltGr. On the UK keyboard I can do AltGr+'[' and then 'a', it 
gives ä.)
