Excel Only Showing # When £ has been pressed
Like the title says, I noticed recently that Excel 2003 is not accepting that
the keyboard is a normal UK English keyboard. Other things such as Word or Notepad have no problems. Every time I press Shift 3 For a £, up on the sceen comes a #. Must be some setting somewhere that's changed. Anyone any ideas ? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the response.
The thing is that this used to be ok, and has only recently started to go wrong. Ideally I'd like to fix what's wrong rather than implement a "work-around". Cheers |

My thought is you have your settings set for a US style English keyboard.
Shift 3 = # on US keyboards. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "Gazz" wrote: Thanks for the response. The thing is that this used to be ok, and has only recently started to go wrong. Ideally I'd like to fix what's wrong rather than implement a "work-around". Cheers |

Cheers.
Could be but does that setting exist in Excel ? As mentioned no other application has problems with this so it's not a global PC setting. |

What happens if you open a new workbook and try to enter the pound symbol?

unlikely to be just excel.
check by Opening a file, and typing £# whatever in the file name If this isn't working it's your system settings - you've gone American :) On Tue, 28 Nov 2006 21:14:54 -0000, Gazz wrote: # :-) |

If you are referring to Excel, then yes when I try to type the file name
during a save or save as then the £s come out as #s. But if referring to anyother application then when I try to save the file £s come out as £s and #s as #s. Like I say, it's Excel related. |

Have you switched to UK, non-us configuration in Windows to see what change it makes ? -- Steve (3) |

Do you have instructions ?
I shall be most disappointed if it isn't already set to UK everywhere, although MS do seem to like to put annoyances in form time to time. |
