When Symbol is chosen from drop down menu, dialog box opens. Many symbols are there, not cents. |

using MSWord 2003. If the font you're using has the cent symbol, just hold down the alt key and press, in sequence, 0162. This should work in any application. Or: In MS Office products only, key in 00A2 and then, immediately press Alt-X. Or: Open Charmap (Start / Run / Charmap), find the symbol in the font you want, and double-click on it. That will "copy", and you can then "paste" it into your text. Or: Download and install the greatest little utility, AllChars. With that running, all you have to do is press, in sequence, Ctrl, c, / Allchars has similarly easy-to-remember combinations for the most common special symbols found in most quality fonts, such as ctrl, c, o for the copyright symbol ©, ctrl, f, f, for the function symbol ƒ, ctrl, L, L, for the pound sign, etc. http://allchars.zwolnet.com/ - DOSser |

how do I insert a cents symbol (c with line through it)?
This is one of the least intuitive aspects of MS Word. I have Word 2003 with
all the updates and to find the ¢ symbol, I have to go to insert, symbol, then cursor down seven lines to get to the ¢ symbol. What I find odd about this is the $ is on the first line of the symbol listing. Why is the ¢ symbol not right next to it!!! I find this odd and not typical of the way most people think when they are searching for monetary symbols. Does anyone out there agree? How do we go about communicating this to the MS Word/Office staff to get an update that corrects this situation? |

The symbols are listed in their ANSI or Unicode order (depending on the
display). The arrangement of character sets dates back to the Stone Age of computing and, as the names imply (ANSI = American National Standards Institute; for Unicode, see http://unicode.org/) the layout has been determined by national/international standards organizations; it is not something Microsoft can change any more than it can change the arrangement of keys on a QWERTY keyboard. But you don't need to go to Insert | Symbol just to insert the ¢ symbol. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+/, c. Find more at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm -- Suzanne S.

how do I insert a cents symbol (c with line through it)?
Thank you for the prompt reply, Suzanne. That is very interesting and I
understand more now about why the symbols are arranged the way they are. However, it still does not seem to me that it is very intuitive or user friendly. This has been a frustration of mine for a long time and I would be interested to know if others have expressed the same frustration. Just because some intenational board dictates that something should be a certain way, does that mean that everybody has to fall into step? "Suzanne S.

If more people *did* fall in step with standards (Microsoft included),
things would be a lot easier for everyone because everything would always be in the same place. There would be no need to hunt and search to discover how THIS or THAT software package decided to implement it. That's what standards are *for*. s Dan mtnpastor wrote: Thank you for the prompt reply, Suzanne.
