Default Dollars and cents

How do I add a cents symbol in a Microsoft Word?


See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm for general
information.

The cent symbol is in most fonts as character (decimal) 162, meaning that
you can hold down the Alt key while typing 0162 on the number pad (with
NumLock turned on) to get ¢ in almost any Windows application. Specifically
in Word, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+/,c is assigned to it (meaning "press
Ctrl and / together, release them, then press c") by default. If you use it
a lot, you can assign an AutoCorrect entry such as /c to insert it.
