euro sign doesn't work

hello ppl,

I have a compaq presario 1245 laptop (pentium2) and I used to be able to
enter the euro sign by pressing the ctrl, alt and "5" keys at once, but now
it doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on how to solve this or what the prblem
might be? I am using windows ME.

thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with that keypress combination. Possibly Word or other
utility software provides certain special characters that way.

However provided you have the appropriate character set installed and active
in the document you're working on, you should be able to enter any character
by pressing Alt + "code". Presumably you have a character map utility in
WinME to find out the proper "code" (4 digits). [I'm running XP.]
