How the hell do I get my symbol of currency up on screen. If you look at your keypad at the number 4. The $ symbol is above it. My euro symbol is to the bottom right of the number 4. How do I get to select the symbol? This has been driving me nuts for ages.I have grey hair sprouting from my arms over this issue!! Thanks to all who reply. Ps I am serious. I am genuine on this concern.

Do you have a character map under your list of programs? Might be under accessories.

I'm assuming the character is blue in color, you should have a blue (fn) or function key, just press it once, or hold it down(depending on the keyboard) and press the number 4 see if that works.

I know what you are saying but I do not know how to achieve it. It probably has to be swapped for the $ symbol but to ask me to do that is like asking a hobo for a million $$.

To obtain an ALT Character: Make certain that the Num Lock key has been pressed to activate the numeric key section of the keyboard. Depress the Alt key. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad) of the ALT code from the table above. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.
