Is there a add in or other tool that will allow you to add the euro symbol to presentations? The best work around I have found is to cut and past from an excel file, but there must be a better way to add the symbol.

Have you tried Insert/Symbol? I have a Euro symbol in the [normal text]
option in PPT 2000 when doing so. It's 4 rows down, 13 across. (That's with
Arial or Times New Roman set as the font on my master slide. So if you don't
see it in [normal text], try selecting Arial or TNR --or Verdana or Palatino
or basically any text font -- in the font dropdown when you go to
Insert/Symbol.)
In PPT 2003 selecting TNR in the Insert/Symbol font dropdown, there's a Euro
symbol way down near the bottom of all the various symbols. It's about 20
rows from the bottom here. Same with many others of the text fonts.
Unfortunately, I can't find the ASCII code for it.
symbol on the 4 key alongside the dollar sign. Accessed by AltGr + 4 (I knew
there must be a reason for AltGr).
I know there is a download on the Windows update site for Euro symbol
support and not all fonts have the symbol, so Arial and Times New Roman (as
Echo suggests) are safest bets.
I don't know if this is a universal thing but all my keyboards have the euro
symbol on the 4 key alongside the dollar sign.

Echo,never have any luck finding those ASCII codes on the 'Net, and in PPT 2003,
it was reported as a Unicode [hex] thing, not ASCII...
So how did you all know that 0128 is the ALT code for the Euro symbol? I

Ute Simon said:if you choose "Insert | Symbol" in Powerpoint and choose "Normal text" as
the font, you get a small triangle arrow to the right of the "Unicode (hex)"
where you can change to "ASCII (decimal)". In the box left of it you see the
number of the symbol you choose in the table above. It works best, if you
use it as a 4-number-digit (with leading zeros, if nessecary) in combination
with the Alt-key.

In PPT 2003, the Insert Symbol d'log shows you the Character code: xxx when you
click on the symbol you're after. You just need to change the "from:" dropdown
to "ASCII (decimal)" if it's not there already.
It doesn't do this in 2000 and CharMap does its level best to make it hard on
you but
Now. For a substantial sum of money, I will consider selling you the videos of
me trying to work out how to enter Alt+key combos on one of several laptops.
