How do I type in £ on our Aussie Keyboards

How do I type in £ on our Aussie Keyboards (the £ is a cut and paste). I have googled it and it says to go Alt FN and type 0163 but it does not work.

Thanks

Garry, you have to use the numeric key pad, not the numbers above the letters.

Press and hold the Alt key then type 0163

GBP £ - Alt 0163
Cents ¢ - Alt 0162
Euro € - Alt 0128

Hold "alt" and enter 0163 on the numeric keypad.

£


EDIT - :D:D

Beat me to it.

Alt 255 was always a good one to use in a password. It would display what would look like a "space", but was actually a blank character.

You can change the default function to something a little more memorable if you like. For example, shift+4 gives you $, but you change the function for £ to say Alt+4 or CRTL+4.
I used to use Degrees a lot so changed it to Alt+o plus a few others that were easier to remember and quicker to use.
You can mod it under Char Map or where you access inserting special characters.

You go to Programs -> accessories and choose the "Character Map" application and select what ever character and font you want!

Or, turn on the embedded numeric keypad ... most laptops have them.

And it said the code is Alt+0163 (nothing about using the numeric pad) but that does not work:( but it does work with cut and paste £. Was hoping to be able to simply hot a key - guess it is not that easy - will create a worddoc on the desktop and just cut and paste.

Thanks to all for the input.

GarryRon's quote informed you to use the numeric pad!

Euro € - Alt 0128My information was in case you didn't have a numeric pad and didn't have or want to use the embedded numeric pad. You use the Microsoft application "Character Map" which diplays all the characters, but yes you still have to copy and paste the key map.
