[Solved] Symbol for "cents"

Post by bluenose »

I have looked through the choices for inserting special characters and didn't see one for "cents" (c with /). Is there a combination of keystrokes that will work? Thanks in advance for any help/input.

Regards

insert / Special characters

Using font Times New Roman ¢ is 7th row down, second column from left. Or type ALT 0162 on your numeric keypad.

I run a Google search and there are quite a few hits...
