Lower case Euro symbol in Word 97
I was explaining to my father how to insert a Euro symbol, either Alt
+Ctrl+E or using InsertSymbol. He is using Word 97 while I'm using 2003. When he uses the first method he gets a lower case Euro symbol, which I found hard to believe as both methods produce the same (upper case) symbol for me. He has faxed me the evidence and in his Word they are indeed different. Alt+Ctrl+E is generally easier to use, but he would prefer to always use the upper case Euro. Is this a quirk of Word 97 that has been changed in subsequent versions? |

Lower case Euro symbol in Word 97
AFAICT, there is only one Unicode character for the euro, 20AC. If your
father is getting something different, it may be that he is inserting it from a different font. IIRC, earlier versions of Word/Windows were not fully Unicode-enabled, and when fonts containing the euro first came out (they were downloadable from the MS Web site), perhaps the euro symbol was different from that which is currently standard. -- Suzanne S.

Lower case Euro symbol in Word 97
Greetings--
The euro symbol comes in only one flavour, it is neither lower nor uppercase, it is somehow case-insensitive. However, if you select an inserted euro symbol, and apply different font faces, you'll notice that the euro symbol comes in all sort of shapes and sizes, depending on the particular font used. Are you and your father using the same font face? Also note that some font faces do not include any euro symbol (e.g. the Symbol font does not). Hope this helps.

Try Alt+Ctrl+4 (not e) for the Euro Glyph.
