Where is the currency symbol for cents?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You can insert this in several ways.

1. The easiest is to use Word's built-in keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+/, c. That
means that you press Ctrl and the slash key simultaneously (the setup key),
then release and press c.

2. Alternatively, you can find the ¢ symbol in the Insert | Symbol dialog in
the Latin-1 character subset. Select it and click Insert.

3. From the dialog, you'll see (if you have a recent version of Word) that
it is Unicode glyph 00A2. If you have Word 2002 or 2003, you can type 00A2
and press Alt+X to insert the character.

4. If you switch the display in Insert | Symbol to ASCII (or if you have an
older version of Word), you'll see that it is ASCII character 162. So you
can press Alt+0162 on the numeric keypad to insert it in Word or any other
Windows program (including emails or text forms in your browser).

On my machine, Ctrl-/ followed by c does it. Otherwise, it is under Insert >
Symbol...
