Entering Euro symbol on keyboard

[Jim]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

I am sure that I had my XP Home Edition PC set up to enter the Euro Symbol
via the keyboard using the "Alt Gr" + the 4 key. Now it does not work.
Cant find anything to help on MS website. I am using . The Euro Symbol
is
shown on they '4 key with the US dollar sign and the 4 with the Euro sign
in
the bottom-right corner of the key.

They keyboard is a Microsoft branded Internet Keyboard with a standard UK
qwerty 102-key keyboard. I am using UK regional settings with the £ (GB
pound) as my normal currency symbol.

Anyone know a fix please?

Thanks!

Hi

Have you tried Alt + Ctrl + 4?

Alt Gr brings up the Euro Symbol here using a UK setup.

I think that behaviour has to be built into the application. Microsoft and
Macromedia seem to support the ? symbol, whereas Textpad , a text editor
doesn't at least on my system.

Hi,

did you try with "AltGr" + "e"? It works on many keyboards.

Hi

I can't make Alt Gr + e work with a UK setup. The alternative is Alt + Ctrl
+ 4.

Yes, but it's not working for him - I was just stating that it *does* work
here with a UK keyboard. I suggested an alternative that 'should' work.

that's interesting, Outlook Express allows Alt Gr and key 4 to insert the
euro sign, but when published here it substitutes a ? character

Thanks, I tried that but all it did was insert a lowercase "e"

Will, yes, I am sure that used to work for me but not sure what has changed,
or how to (re)implement it.

I read the previous posts and tried the "AltGr" + "e" combination, and it certainly works on my UK (hp) keyboard! Thanks for the fixed, this has been bothering me for months before I visited this website!
