Have you tested this in Windows? Alt-a is Word 2003's default shortcut key for
Table=>Autofit, and that's what it brings up on my system in both Wine and
Windows. However, I do have the U.S. version, and it's possible that the Polish
version has different default shortcuts.

That's not the correct shortcut. You have to type 0105, then press Alt-x. It
works for me in both Wine and Window.

You can also do it through the menu, Insert=>Symbol. 

> 2) I can type Polish "a" letter in described way in OpenOffice

That's irrelevant. Open Office's keyboard shortcuts are not the same as
Microsoft Office's, in Windows or Wine.
