Easier Euro Symbols
In my December 2002 column, I offered easy ways to type the euro symbol in Windows and Office applications. Reader Rick Richards of Oakville, Ontario, points out that Microsoft Word already has a quick and simple way to do it: Press Ctrl-Alt-E. This is strictly a Word solution--it doesn't even work in Excel (although Excel supports the euro symbol when you format a cell to display numbers as currency). And like the two options I described in December, this method works only if you're using a font that supports the symbol.
