Dollar sign
Can anyone help please. I have set up my XP and Office Prof and when typing
in word, my dollar sign ($ - this is what it should look like) has 2 lines thru it as in the American Dollar and not one as in the Australian Dollar. Please help as it is doing it in all my documents. |

Dollar sign
What font are you using? AFAIK, there's only one dollar symbol (U0024), but
it may have two strokes in some fonts (FWIW, the U.S. dollar uses a single stroke as well). Even in Arial Unicode MS, the Currency Symbols character subset does not offer a different dollar sign, and even if it did, you'd need an AutoCorrect entry or the like to produce it by pressing the dollar key on your keyboard. -- Suzanne S.

Dollar sign
Thanks Suzanne, I have managed to fix it by reinstalling word. Don't know
why it did that as I have been using it for years without a problem. It just started typing the wrong characters. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Regards Loraine "Suzanne S.
