Hello,
I have Office XP SP 3 on a Win2000 Terminal Server.
The Euro-Sign cannot be printed from Word. Is the Euro-Sign still a
problem
for Office or is this a printer (driver) problem?
I'd think that Office (esp. this new version) should not have a problem
but
I am not sure. As a matter of fact, the Euro sign is not printed.
I did not install the following patches (office update website):
KB832668

Euro currency sign FAQ
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/EuroSymbolFAQ.mspx
Microsoft Word provides full support for displaying and entering the euro
and other currency symbols.
Use the Symbol dialog box to insert the euro and other currency symbols
1.. On the Insert menu, click Symbol.
2.. In the Font box, click a font that supports the symbol you want.
3.. In the Subset box, click Currency Symbols.
If Currency Symbols is not available, then the selected font does not
support currency symbols.
4.. In the from box, click Unicode (hex).
The set of characters is limited if you select something other than
Unicode (hex) in the from box. For example, if you select a local code page
rather than Unicode (Unicode: A character encoding standard developed by the
Unicode Consortium. By using more than one byte to represent each character,
Unicode enables almost all of the written languages in the world to be
represented by using a single character set.), you will see a
correspondingly reduced set of characters in the Symbol dialog box.
5.. Select the currency symbol you want, and then click Insert.
Tip
The name of the selected symbol is displayed in the lower-left corner of the
Symbols tab.

your printer vendor to find out how to update your printer fonts to include
the euro currency symbol.
