Hello Erica,
The correct placement of the Euro symbol, in French, is AFTER the
numbers, eg
80.45=80 or if you don't have the symbol, 80.45Eu.=20
I think this is correct for all EU countries, even those whose currency
symbol prior to 2001 was before the numbers, but I am not sure about
that.
On my keyboard, which is set up as US International, Standard French,
the key combination RtAlt-5 calls up the symbol. The 5 is is above the R
and T, not on the numeric pad. I had to download the euro TT font in
2000, to make this work, but I think any O/S produced since then
includes the font.
