Neil-- I did't know that. I just assumed that for a currency, there would be a symbol, so I searched for "franc" in the Win 2000 character map and found a symbol labeled French Franc. It's basically a capital F with an extra stroke above the the base. (I'm sure I'm explaining that wrong.) In the text I'm working with, there are dollars and Yen in the same paragraph as the French Franc, so the "FF" may look out of place. I'm inserting a footnote explainer at first reference, so maybe that will clear things up for the reader. Rufus-- Yes, I'm aware of the Euro, but it didn't exist in 1992! Thanks for the replies. -- Gordon
