Answer 3

Keyboards around the world aren't the same! The English keyboard differs slightly from the American keyboard (QWERTY). For example, the English has a pound sign on top of the 3 (but it has the dollar sign). If you want to do a pound sign, you can either configure your computer to English QWERTY and type Shift-3, or you can go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map.

Answer 6

I think you can change the keyboard layout for USA to UK



Click Start and then Control Panel

In Control Panel, if you are in Category View, click on Switch to Classic View (top left corner)

Open Regional and Language Options.

and there should be a drop down bar with languages

set it to

ENGLISH (United Kingdom)



but unfortunately the keyboard wont show what you're typing

but at least you get it

Answer 7

Find a pound sign on the internet e.g. £. Then cut and paste it into your document This will save changing the keyboard layout on your computer.

(Alt+0163) £££ hold alt and type 0163, when you let up on the alt button it will show up. In the UK they have a £ sign where our $ sign is (shift and 4)

Answer 9

Alt+3 will result in £ sign

Shift+Alt+2 will result in € sign and

Alt+y will give ¥

Answer 10

ALT-0163 on number pad.

Answer 11
