I've been looking for a solution to this and can't find it. So while I continue to look I'll pass it onto you lot. I have a wireless MS keyboard and mouse and in word (only in word as far as I can tell) when I hit the right arrow key I get the Euro symbol which is really annoying if I want to move right in a document (and not insert a Euro symbol) Does anybody have a clue what I should do - I'm considering getting a wired keyboard. I've changed the batteries and updated the drivers. Still I get the euro symbol.

WOrd and the Euro
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
First borrow a wired keyboard and see if that does the same. If it does, start digging through the Word configuration, because the problem is almost certainly in there. If it doesn't, borrow another wireless keyboard and see if it does the same. If so, suspect something in the driver(s) related to wireless keyboards. If not, replace your keyboard with either a wired or wireless one, according to taste, because it's probably your keyboard.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI've been looking for a solution to this and can't find it.
