International Send Setting is set to Western European (ISO) and "when replying to message always use English headers" is checked. Under the Read tab International Read Settings it says Western European (Windows) and box is not checked. I checked my other pc running XP and settings were the same and I get the 'cent' sign. I still get ? here with Vista. I also get the same results when I try to insert something into Works Word Processor. However, I do get the ¢ when using Microsoft Office Word. I have not tried Windows Live Mail.

Maxine, I'm using Windows Live Mail but I've tried your keystroke on both Windows Live Mail and also Windows Mail and it works perfectly - as you can see - ¢
Are you using Western European ISO encoding. I've never come across this problem before.

I received several replies to this under the subject line "Using character map in Microsoft Mail" but still have had no success at correcting the problem. I really would like to solve this, so if you have any info I'd appreciate it.

---Original Message---
Whenever I try to insert the ¢ character into an email message using the
keystroke (Alt+0162) I get a very small smiley face. This also happens
when trying to insert other symbols. The only way I can insert anything is
to copy and paste it into the email message. This did not happen in XP
Outlook Express.
Is there any way I fix this??
Thanks!
