Dell 510/610 my lap top has $ symbol, can i change it to show the pound symbol.

The easiest way is to hold down the Alt key and type "156", then release the Alt key. You will see a British pound (£) sign appear. However, sometimes "pound" means the number sign (#), but that's mostly used in voicemail prompts.
If you use the first pound symbol a lot, you can either keep it on the clipboard, or consider remapping a key you never use (like the tilde, or ~) to type that character (see http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-022).

Hope this helps!

In the United States # is the pound sign (shift-3), in the UK the term "pound sign" is understood to mean the currency symbol, £, for pound sterling

Hi,
If you want the pound symbol then you should press the Shift key + the pound key.

Hold-down the ALT GR ("alternate graphic") key, to the right of the space-bar, and press the '2' key, release the ALT GR key, and you should get '@'.

replace

This is because it is set to US english keyboard layout rather than UK English layout.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Keyboard

and change the language settings...

If you have Windows XP, click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and choose "Character Map" - you should see and be able to copy the symbol to the clipboard you need from there.


Good Luck!
