Thanks Tom, tried the £ symbol first but when I enter what you suggested I
get what looks like 2 S's interlinked?!

£ Alt+0163 works for me.

Are you working live on a server based web?
Does your page have a meta tag similar to
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> ?
(the utf-8 may be different)

If true, it may be that the server is sending a different charset in the
HTTP headers than that defined in the meta tag, and this will cause the
problem.
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/symbols demonstrates the problem.

Make sure you use the numeric keypad to enter the numbers, NOT the
numbers on the top row of the keyboard.

Good catch, Craig.

Thanks Craig but doing this I get a square box!

Make sure you use the numeric keypad to enter the numbers, NOT the
numbers on the top row of the keyboard.

Thanx - think FrontPage overwrote the charset to what you indicated below.
I've changed back to 'charset=windows-1252" which seems to have done the
trick, fingers crossed.
