How to make a cents symbol in Excel 2007

[Scott Salt Lake]

I read a comment about using Alt + 0162 to make a cents symbol (c with a
slash through it). But it was for Excel 2003. I tried it in Excel 2007 and
just got beeps for an error. How do you do it in 2007?

It should work in any program, Alt-0162 is the code to display a cents
symbol in most common fonts.

Are you using a font that uses this code for something else? Try using a
common font like Arial and see if it works.

Works fine for me in 2007 Scott, must be something in your setup.

I can't type in the number. When I press down the Alt key (and hold it down)
and then try to type the number 0162, it just beeps. I can't enter in the
number.

Do you have a number pad on your keyboard? The numbers along the top
don't work. With a lap top you might have to lock in the numbers.

Are you using the keypad, it doesn't work from the number row.

Turn on the numlock and then hold down alt at the same time you enter 0162
