I note that for the same Word - Help - double-click €, at the bottom of the list of topics I find:

Keyboard shortcuts for international characters:

(The general rule is you Hold Ctrol while you type an "add on," release the Ctrl key and type the letter.)

CTRL+` (ACCENT GRAVE), the letter = à, è, ì, ò, ù, À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù
CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), the letter = á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ý
CTRL+SHIFT+^ (CARET), the letter = â, ê, î, ô, û, Â, Ê, Î, Ô, Û
CTRL+SHIFT+~ (TILDE), the letter = ã, ñ, õ, Ã, Ñ, Õ
CTRL+SHIFT+: (COLON), the letter = ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ, Ä, Ë, Ï, Ö, Ü, Ÿ
CTRL+SHIFT+@, a or A = å, Å
CTRL+SHIFT+&, a or A = æ, Æ
CTRL+SHIFT+&, o or O = œ, Œ
CTRL+, (COMMA), c or C = ç, Ç
CTRL+' (APOSTROPHE), d or D = ð, Ð
CTRL+/, o or O = ø, Ø
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+? = ¿
ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+! = ¡
CTRL+SHIFT+&, s = ß

Note that these shortcuts apply ONLY TO WORD for US USERS. I'd suspect some or all of them would work for most euro configurations, but there are no guarantees.

Preview looked ok on my machine. Hope it comes across for everyone else.

A quick check on "her" machine indicates that her Win2K Office2000 Word doesn't do the Alt-X translation of Unicode char numbers. I'll have to check later whether it appears as an office opdate option.
