I have the same problem - but in many European languages! The track I am working on at the moment is to change the Windows keyboard setting in Control Panel to US-International. You will then find the keyboard key revert to the standard US setting - in may case the problem (no English pound key anymore), but you can now insert accents easily. E.G. press the ' key then a vowel and that vowel now has an accent! The same works for the ` " and ^ keys. This is a keyboard that is not mentioned - as far as I can see - in my Windows book, from it most 'odd' characters can be found. In my case I now need to reprogram some of the keys on the keyboard as the key layout is English not US and Word will not let me assign a macro to keys such as Shift 3 - the English pound! Such is life!!!
