Bris Vegas Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Simple question, but I've got a Mexican laptop (assume it's the same as American) and I have no idea how to make the pound sign. I want to use it on Microsoft Word I know that the Euro Sign is CTRL + ALT + E which is very simple. But I've read about the pound sign and none of the following work... ALT + 0163 ALT + whatever... And none of them work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 How do you reformat it? It's bloody annoying having to copy and paste it from other sites - for such a simple key surely there should be some basic code for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You used to be able set your keyboard layout to UK in windows. If you can still do it get little stickers so you know which key is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And none of them work... Just dine some checking - for ALT codes to work you need to use the keypad. If you have a laptop the keypad is merged to the keyboard on keys centred around the I key. You need to use these and this keypad is activated by a function key (F key) at the top of your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm on my laptop but I don't want to change any of the settings or anything like that. I just simply want a simple code such as the ctrl + alt + E to get the Euro sign for the pound sign. Surely one has to exist? Thanks for the comment Davenport, but I don't really understand it. Where is my 'Keypad'? Centred around the I key - you mean the letter I - ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yeah - on mine they've got little numbers on in box brackets and my numlock is on the F11 key. I'll post a picture in tapa talk in a minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Ah, I don't have numbers on my keys. Just the basic one - zero at the top. In fact, your keys are in completely different places to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
