On my Windows XP Pro computer only 5 of the many installed fonts had a dollar sign with double vertical bars. All the rest had a dollar sign with a single bar. The fonts with double vertical bar dollar signs were... JasmineUPC Modern Roman Script Traditional Arabic If you are using Windows too you could open the "Character Map" program and look through the fonts to see which of them have dollar signs with double vertical bars. Once you identify those fonts return to one of your changed documents and see if the font being used is one with the double vertical. If not, try changing the font to one of the ones with a double vertical and see whether the dollar sign displays as you need it to. On a standard Windows XP installation Character Map can be found at Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. Looking for the dollar sign in each font was simple. It was the fourth character in the first row of each font. So it was very easy to quickly go though the list of fonts and see how the dollar sign was designed in each. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
