[ps3ud0]

Hi Guys,

Dno what Ive done but on my work laptop is now outputting '#' when I use the Shift+3 shortcout instead of '£'.

Internet Explorer hasnt been affected though

Tried to google but didnt find an relevant hits - any ideas?

American keyboard setting - change it back to British (Google)

Is there seperate language options in MS Office? Maybe set to US.

Try shift + #

Unfortuantely I dont have access to it (restrictions) so I dont know how that could have either changed or how its only affecting only Office and not IE?

Only Outlook options I can see are to do with the dictionary and thats UK already - any further places to look?

Try shift + #

Shift+# gives me | in Office currently...

Guess I need to do a reboot but will have to do that tomorrow

Maybe copy the £ symbol and keep it on your CTRL+V for today?

Alt + shift

There should be an option for Microsoft Language Settings under "Microsoft Office Tools" in the ms office start up menu. That's how I changed mine to UK English before.

ALT + 0163 if all else fails.

ALT + 156 should also work and a bit shorter

Ive already setup Alt+3 for it so its not a major issue - just bemused its happened when Ive done nothing...

Ooh looks like that might have worked - it was already on UK English but swapping it to US and then back seems to have worked - cheers...
