How do I insert a 'Euro' character?

The Euro currency symbol is only available in some fonts. (Times and Helvetica, which are commonly used, do not include the Euro symbol.)

To insert a Euro character:

  1. On the Insert menu select Special Character.
  2. In the dialog that appears, change the font selection to a font where you can see the Euro character appear in the '128' character position. The '128' position is in the first column, fourth row.
  3. Highlight the Euro character by clicking on it.
  4. Click OK to insert.

Note: If you output your file to HTML, the Euro symbol will be converted to '¤' (curren).
