Where Is The Pound Sign On A French Laptop

[johnk]

I have a French laptop and there is no pond sign. I think there is some combination of keys to get it but don't know what this is. Anyone any ideas?

[johnk]

Sorry, should be pound sign (money)

Here's a keyboard combination table including the £ sign http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms892155.aspx

Try ALT 0163 John

Hold ALT key while typing 0163 on the numeric keypad

[sandyRoe]

try 'alt' 156 for £

[dzug2]

Try ALT 1 5 6

[aelmpvw]

hold Alt and press 0163 on numeric pad

If by the keypad you mean the seperate numbers at the side I don't have one of those
Boxtops there is no pound sign in the characters column

[boxtops]

It's on row 1b, between 19 and 20 in the first column

http://fsymbols.com/keyboard/windows/alt-codes/laptop/ may help in that case

[johnk]

Boxtops found it on the list but can't get it up, perhaps this is not French but a US laptop

On your keyboard, do the 7, 8 and 9 keys have on them those digits not only as big characters but also as small characters in a different, darker colour, probably on the front of the key? If so then there will be a key combination that makes part of your keyboard behave as a numeric keypad.

Glad to help - so what was your combination?

[johnk]

It was the 156 one.
