On such keyboards, it's somewhere like where the : is on a US keyboard. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

You can also find it by typing 64 into the Character Code box when the ASCII (decimal) setting is selected. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Thu, 21 Jul 2005 00:01:58 +0200, "Doug Robbins" <dkr@REMOVEmvps.org> wrote: >On a UK keyboard, that will give you £.
