Anyone know how to type the symbol for degree and for english pound sign.

I know you must hit the ALT key and a letter or something, I used to know the one for degree and forgot.

It kind of reminds me of the old Carson Tonight show when he was doing his Karnak bit and Ed McMahon would be talking about the famed and fabled "mystic seer from the East" when introducing Johnny as Karnak.

Re: Keyboard symbols

Well Kath I tried and can't do the symbols, holding them all down at once, do i have to go to MS site to download something?

I have some online friends over in england who have i guess american computers and cannot do their english pound sign. They say they have a "Yank" computer

Re: Keyboard symbols

Dolly,

I think you need to go into your Control Panel in Regional and Language Options and activate the English United Kingdom option on your keyboard to make it work.

Think that your UK friends can make their "Yank" computer go British about the same way--by going into the Regional and Language Options and selecting English United Kingdom as their normal operating mode.

If you need more information on how to activate the keyboard, please read the detailed instructions for activating the keyboard. These tables show select codes only, not all possible codes.

Let's see if that helps with the pound sign!

Re: Keyboard symbols

You don't change yours--you add to it, using the "add" button. That won't change yours from the "main"--US English--it will just add the capabilities for things like the Pound sign when you use the special keystrokes.
