Ledger template shows $ when internationalsetting is £

[cricket]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi All

I'm running Excel 2008 with the 12.2.4 update on an Intel Mac running 10.5.8

My problem is I can't get the Ledger templates to show £ (pound sterling). They show $ (dollar).

The International Preference setting is £ (a normal sheet in the same workbook shows £).

Is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance.
Catherine

Have you tried Format> Cells> Number?

Yes, of course, but is it not possible to change the templates?
Thanks

Only by saving a customised copy of each one.

Play around in /Applications/Microsoft Office
2008/Office/Media/Templates/Ledger Sheets/.

Keep the originals so you can roll back if you get an unwanted result!

Ah! That's where they are - sorry, I don't know why my searching didn't locate them.
Many thanks
