When copying from Outlook Calendar to Excel worksheet this character Å“
replaces the £ sign on the excel worksheet, it is not in any of the character
map options and cannot replace it on the find and replace options because i
cannot copy and paste the Å“ onto the find box to replace every other
character copies ok to excel..

Hi,

You can use the unicode characters in Find/Replace.

Find what: alt+0156 (=o)
Replace with: alt+0163 (=£)

To use unicode hold down the Alt key and press the numbers on the number
pad then release the Alt key. You can't use the numbers at the top of
your keypad.
