My laptop uses a multilingual keyboard. My language is English Canada, however for some reason Writer decides to use french characters instead of English. This doesn't happen in Notepad or wordpad, so I suspect it has to do with a setting in Writer.

Are you sure this isn't an OS problem. The keyboard (on Linux at least) can be different for different applications. Check your Windows keyboard language setting when you have OpenOffice open.
