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!!!
