Need help adding the euro sign to my computer
Hi
I have seen the euro sign on some peoples postings and wonder how it is added to my fonts and how I can use it in my posting. There have been times I would have like to use it, please help me. thanks |
Just hit the € key ;)
Actually, type <b>&euro;</b> and it should magically appear. |
When I do it, I have to put a semi-colon (the symbol, not the word) after &euro to make it work.
|
And (no spaces) & pound ; to get £
|
Hi
On my laptop its Alt Gr and $ together this gives the € symbol. Hope it helps Muck |
On most European keyboards it's "Alt Gr + e" to get the € sign, and the sticker is also there on the newer keyboards.
|
Or you can hold down either of the Alt keys while typing the numbers 0128 using the number pad like this: €...when you release the Alt key the € will appear.
|
Hi ae,
It is much easier to just use a capital E - 30E. |
Yes .. but Ira that is cheating !!
;-) Muck |
You calling me a cheater?
Them's fightin' words, Suh! Pain au chocolate at dawn in the Bois de Boulogne. :) We can either throw them at each other or have an eating contest. |
I want to b€ th€ r€f€r€€ !
|
OK, SF.
You can bring the Pain au Chocolat. |
The easiest way to hold down the Alt key and type 0128 to get the € sign or 156 to get the £ sign.
If you are in a Word document (rather than on the internet) you can go to top tool bar - insert - symbol. You should both of them there. |
Everything is simpler if you have a Mac: The Euro symbol is the option & shift keys and the number 2 (i.e., option-shift-2). Pound sign is option-3, yen is option-y.
|
Be aware that keyboard shortcuts (the European Alt-, the Windows Alt-, and the Mac Option) don't always display on other browsers the way they do on yours. The "official" way to form € is to use <b>&€</b> as I said in the first place.
Other "escape" characters that adhere to the HTML standard can be found at http://www.usewisdom.com/computer/ internet/html/charsdesc.html |
<b>&euro;</b>
|
&Euro; &Pound &EURO I tried all the methods suggested and you can see it did not work for me. |
The ampersand strings are case sensitive.
&pound; £ (not &Pound;) &euro; € (not &Euro;) |
Let's see:
£ € It works! Thanks Robespierre. |
"Pain au Chocolat at dawn" sorry Ira too early for me, but around 8 am with a nice cup of tea will be fab.
Oh on second thoughts, better not I spent all last week eating the damn things in France and my trousers are a little tight.. ;-) Muck |
