How you can put in your 2¢ worth
Written by Ed on August 27, 2008 – 11:00 pm -Have you noticed that you can put a $ sign in your text but not a ¢ sign? Would you like to? You need to use character map! For those odd symbols that you don’t find on your keyboard, do the following: Click Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools and select Character Map. This opens up the character map for the font you’re currently using. Look through the symbols until you find the cents sign (¢) and click it. You can either select and copy it here, or note the keystroke combination that can be used for it (in this case, ALT + 0162). If you use it a lot, just memorize the key combo. If you find yourself looking up symbols in Character Map often, put a shortcut to it on the desktop or quick launch bar. Now you can always put in your 2¢ worth!

Great piece of advice. I can’t believe I have had this machine for 7 years and did not know about this. Thanks for the info. Edward
