Yay thanks it worked, you have to press the alt key closest to the key pad as well.]]> Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:08:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10075&PID=200636&title=silly-question-pound-symbol#200636 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10075&PID=200633&title=silly-question-pound-symbol#200633 Author: busymum

Saw this on Google but dunno if it's true?

"In Word, or almost any other Windows programs for that matter, press and hold the Alt key while you type 0163 on the numeric keypad at the right of the keyboard (not the numbers above the letters) and when you release the Alt key you will have a £ sign inserted wherever the cursor is at."

otherwise the long version...
"click on Insert, click on Symbol..., click on the down-pointing triangular arrow beside the Font: box which probably says "Symbol", scroll up to the top of the list where it says (Normal Text), click on (Normal Text), the £ sign should be about 13 squares across on the fourth row about seven squares after the lower-case z, click on the £ sign which should jump up big and blue (actually white on a blue background to be correct)"
