It does NOT work with NOTEPAD, only WORDPAD. It works like this:
1. Enter a2 (or 0a2, up to a maximum of 4 leading zeroes will just be omitted). 2. Wordpad will now show a2. 3. Press Alt+x 4. a2 will now be deleted and replaced by ¢. About leading zeroes: a2 -> ¢ 0000a2 -> ¢ 00000a2 -> 0¢ No other command needs to be entered before typing a2. Believe me, I tried it again and again and again… Just make sure that there are no hex characters (0-f) right before a2, because that might give you the wrong character. For example, if you want to type something like "just give me 50¢" and you type "just give me 50a2" and then press Alt+x. The result will then be "Just give me 傢". I don't know what 傢 means, but I am pretty sure it doesn't mean 50¢… In this case I guess you would want to type ¢50 rather than 50¢ anyway. My girlfriend has Word (2000 I think) installed on her laptop since she bought it so I tried this with word and it worked there as well. Neither of us have Excel installed but I guess it works there too. Johnny Andersson 2007/3/3, M Henri Day <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If you open notepad and then type «0», followed by «a», followed by «2», don't you simply get «0a2» - after all, you haven't given notepad or Windows a command that it should do something other than produce the symbols you type, which is the function of «Ctrl + Shift + u». Are you sure you're not entering some other command before typing «0», «a», and «2» ?... Henri
