Change my 'Default Currency Symbol' to the new Indian Rupee

Hi,

You need to install this update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2496898

Take a look at http://daxserver.com/how-to-type-indian-rupee-symbol-in-ms-word/ for detailed instructions.

Hi,

Sorry, I just realised that you are the same person to whom I provided this answer to a while ago:

Did that answer not work for you?  Or did you forget you had asked this before???

Thank you very much

I do not think I have to install this update because it belongs to the specified list of OSs.

Please see the list OSs against this update.

Windows 8.1 is not included.

So I assume that it the facility is there already. My PC is set for automatic updating.

Next

I tried all those changes suggested with control panel > Region > Additional settings > Currency.

   -The symbol is very much there in front of me

But when I type in word or format a column in Excel it is either a '₹' or 'a question mark' with in a '₹'.

You're probably right, but maybe there's a different update for W8????

Have you found any reason why the '?' appears?  Any pattern to what you type???

 - what did you do to get just the '₹'

 - what did you do to get '?₹'

Sorry, I don't have W8 and I don't want to have this symbol as a default on my PC, so I can't do any testing on this...
