avongirl Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Anyone else without a euro sign key on their keyboard? I think there might be a way of programming one on a hot key or some such thing - anyone know how? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Re: Where's My Euro Key? Or you can do: Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map and copy and paste the Euro sign from there. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Where's My Euro Key? Cheers for all the replies. Not sussed it out fully yet but have had a look at Hodgey's suggestion and the chart there tells me that the key equivalent is Alt + 0128, which is what george said. :ok If only I knew what key 0128 was. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgej Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Re: Where's My Euro Key? Not sure about this, but are your regional settings (in control panel) set to English UK? If they're English US it might make a difference (or maybe not) Failing that, you could put =char(128) into an excel cell and copy it. We'll try to compile a full list of how many ways we can do this ... but you can't :lol (Sorry, couldn't resist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgej Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Re: Where's My Euro Key? Nope - this isn't good enough. When has PL ever quit on anything? What Operating system are you using? XP? what model of computer? Is it PC or laptop (or apple)? What browser are you using? (just incase) (If you are using a laptop, the function key may be needed for some solutions alresdy suggested) In control panel, goto keyboard - hardware. Is it 101 key you have? Depending on how much you'll use it, you may also consider getting a program to remap a key on your keyboard, but that may be going a bit far - even for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
