Probably too late, I just saw this post now. Anyway, is it not over the 3?

Nope …. that’s this ‘£’

Believe it or not I’ve been using Mac’s for 2 years now, and I STILL don’t know where it is!!!

would it help if I typed one from my computer, and you could copy and paste it?!!

Roish … stuff like this drives me nuts. So here’s the solution:

Option + 3 = #

And for a futher magical trick (although I suspect you knew this already)

Option+ 2 / 4 / G = € / ¢ / ©

Tada! Like they say … no day is a complete waste if you learn something new. So now I’ll take the rest of the day off!!!
