| 1474516 | 2021-01-13 03:47:00 | SWMBO has a keyboard that has a $ sign but no £ sign. In Office Word you can go to Insert then Symbol and then it's easy to insert a £ sign. But what do you do if you don't have Office? Is there anywhere you can go to access a £ sign?:help: |

But what do you do if you don't have Office? Is there anywhere you can go to access a £ sign?:help: Normally I'm lazy enough to search for pound sign and then copy/paste from google. If it's something you might do semi regularly though you can find the decimal code for it, and use alt+code on the numeric keypad. - So it's alt+0163 = £ www.alt-codes.net e%20ALT,or%20copy%20paste%20the%20character. |

| 1474519 | 2021-01-13 04:13:00 | You can use alt codes, add an alternative keyboard (its software to change your normal US keyboard to a Euro type one, you can set up multiple keyboards and toggle them when needed) , find it in character map and copy paste it or copy and paste it from text, etc. And you maybe able to create your own dictionary word for it, e.g $$ could get replaced with £ if you set it up like that. Which would probably be a method I'd take if it works. |

Yes that works really well but in Win 10 it is Start/Windows Accessories/Character map |
