How do I get the £ symbol in Word 2007?
My keyboard gives the £ symbol perfectly well (as here!) unless I am using
Word 2007, when it gives the # symbol instead. I can't find any solutoion to this. -- waddi |

That suggests that you have set Word to the wrong language. Go to the Review
Ribbon, Set Language and set the correct local language and remove those not used. Clear the Detect Language Automatically and then press DEFAULT. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "waddi" wrote in message ...

Did this. Made sure English (UK) was the default language (though I couldn't
see a way to remove English (US) which was also ticked)But it made no difference. The actual hash key, though, is now giving a backslash! In Excel, there is no problem at all. -- waddi "Terry Farrell" wrote: That suggests that you have set Word to the wrong language.

You need to change the keyboard setting in Windows Control Panel | Regional
and Language Options. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "waddi" wrote in message ... Did this.

I thought you must be wrong because I had already selected English (United
Kingdom) as the current format. But I explored the Keyboards and Language tab - Change keyboards button, removed English (US) but kept English (UK). It did the trick! Thanks. -- waddi "Suzanne S.
