The Euro

[Guest]

How do I get the euro symbol? It is not on my keyboard

 

[Graham Mayor]

It's not on mine either - and long may it not be
Try ALT+CTRL+4 or ALTGR + 4.
These do, however require that the font has the symbol, and many older fonts
do not. To overcome this, I use the Euro from the Arial Unicode font
(supplied with recent Windows versions) inserted by the following macro,
which can be conveniently added to a toolbar button:

Sub EuroSymbol()
Selection.InsertSymbol Font:="Arial", CharacterNumber:=8364,
Unicode:=True
End Sub

see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you don't know how to use
this code.

I don't know what software you are running, or if you have looked it up in
Help, but
www.microsoft.com/euro is where you can browse for information about your
configuration.

You can insert it with Alt+0128 (on the numeric keypad) if the font contains
it. You'll probably want to assign a keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+Alt+E.
