How to get Word 2000 to type UK pound sign when I click Shift+No.3 on Keyboard.

Instead I get these ##### and all the other signes are mixed up, like for this @ I have to press this " " " even while I type this topic.

I tried in CNTRL PANEL Keaboard & Regional, tried in word Options & Customise, also Repair in Word changes nothing.

Any help appreciated.      Thanks        luke

It sounds like your machine is incorrectly identifying your keyboard. I get that sometimes after using certain programs. The only thing you can do is either to re-select your keyboard or use the insert symbol option

When you say CLICK do you mean you're using an on-screen keyboard? If so email/call microsoft for the answer.
If you're using a "conventional" keyboard have you tried language selection in the Word options/settings?
Also, you're not pressing Ctrl instead of shift are you...?

I mean "conventional" keyboard, using Shift, Language US & UK (does not allow delete US one), and cannot find @Word options/settings?@ but tried all congiguration bits with no success.

This occurs in any text editor, noit only word.

Tried all possibilities in Cntrl Panel without success.
