Okay, I think I know where I went wrong with the keyboard fiasco, but I need help setting it right. The reason my navigation arrows and backspace stopped working might be that when I tried to create shortcuts to accented vowels, I saw the "load" button and thought it meant that I could create a file with each letter ad load it in for each designated shortcut. So I made a "Special Character" file for these. But now I think that Libre Office thinks that's where to store keyboard configurations, but can't tap into it, so all of the shortcut keys have disappeared--including basic navigational keys like the arrows.
The question is, where is the right file location, and how do I get it back? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
This is rather urgent as I've got a deadline in the balance, on 8/21.
Customized keyboard shortcuts are stored in your LibreOffice user profile,
configuration file "registrymodifications.xcu",
path "%appdata%\LibreOffice\3\user\registrymodifications.xcu".
Backup the original file "registrymodifications.xcu".
Open the file "registrymodifications.xcu" with a text editor.
Search for keyword "Accelerators".
Remove all entries, beginning with:
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Accelerators/...>...</item>.
Save the file.
That should restore the default values.
Sample 1
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Accelerators/PrimaryKeys/Global">
<node oor:name="U_MOD1" oor:op="replace">
<prop oor:name="Command" oor:op="fuse">
<value xml:lang="en-US">vnd.sun.star.script:Standard.Module1.paste_unformatted?language=Basic&location=application</value>
</prop>
</node>
</item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Accelerators/PrimaryKeys/Modules/org.openoffice.Office.Accelerators:Module['com.sun.star.text.TextDocument']">
<node oor:name="8_SHIFT_MOD1_MOD2" oor:op="replace">
<prop oor:name="Command" oor:op="fuse">
<value xml:lang="en-US">.uno:StyleApply?Style:string=d_fr&FamilyName:string=CharacterStyles</value>
</prop>
</node>
</item>

Thank you and bless you! I will try this immediately!
