I have learnt such a lot this afternoon! Thank you, Stella, for this most technical, informative thread. I have thrown away my Computer For Dummies! Am off now to spit on screen and then do some washing. Thanks for the laughs. BC XX |

Hmmm have been thinking....can't you stick a pound symbol over the dollar? Surely that should do the trick, Stella? LOLOL |

Stella re £ sign. If you are using Word - click on Insert - click on symbol and you have loads of options including £ sign just double click it and it goes into whatever you are doing. Dorothy |

I don't know if these have already been mentioned but: - <Space Bar> Scrolls you down the screen page by page. <Shift + Space Bar> Scrolls you back up. <CTRL> + F Allows you to enter text to search for. |
