Not too sure how to type it...always wondered that myself!
if ever I need to use it i just use Start > Accessories > System Tools > Characeter Map
You can then copy & paste the Euro sign.

Stu, thank you and Cyber for quick replies.
Unfortunately, the--Ctrl & Alt & 4--doesn't work on my keyboard. Plus I don't think we have "Gr" on our (U.S.) keyboards.

The Alt-0128 works great.

Stu's reply deserved a star from cyberspace... his tip was new to me as well.
I'm pleased that using 'Alt+0128' worked for you... but a little surprised that US keyboards don't have an 'Alt Gr' key. What key DO you have to the right of the spacebar?

My keyboard:
I have a rather fancy ergometric Microsoft keyboard. To the right of the spacebar are four keys:
Alt
2 keys that relate to Windows
Ctrl.
The Alt and Ctrl keys would be on the right of all or at least most U.S. keyboards. The two Windows-related keys are there on most NEW keyboards, but not on older ones.
Truly sorry to see that you've lost both the Empire and any chance at all to be on the cutting edge of history.

I knew there was a good reason we don't have the euro, it's just far too many buttons to press....
Merry non denominational winter festival!!!

biglebowski,
Get used to the 'Euro'... it's the way of the future, apparently (so my mate Tony Blair tells me).
(OK... I'm not exactly a 'mate' of Tony Blair.)
I have to admit though that, once my partner and I had adjusted to it (i.e. the 'Euro'), a single common currency within Europe DID actually made it much, much easier during our recent pan-European ramblings.
