RE: Euro symbol displays as dollar symbol in Excel

[Sheeloo]

Since you see it then it changes - you may check your autocorrect entries -
there might be one correcting Euro to Dollar.
First just disable autocorrect (Tools->AutoCorrect). If it solves the
problem then look for an entry for Euro symbol.

Thanks for your quick response, Sheeloo.
However, Autocorrect doesn't seem to be the problem. Turning the various
options off or on makes no difference to my problem. I checked down the list
just in case, but there are no Euro symbols. Smart tags is disabled too.

What is your system currency system... it is likely to be Euro...

Mine is $... I changed my currency format in Excel to Euro.. now when I
enter $ it changes to € (Euro)

Change your system currency to EURO...

 

[BrendaM]

My default is $ (Australia). But the British Pound symbol and the Japanese
Yen symbol display correctly. It's only the Euro symbol that reverts to a $.
If I have to keep changing my default, I'll just continue using an "E"
instead.
Thanks for your help.
