I think I may know what you're referring to above regarding the option above, but I can only make it work in Word and not excel. If you can do it in both please could you enlighten me.

Go to the START button, bottom left corner.
Select SETTINGS
Select CONTROL PANEL
Select KEYBOARD
Select LANGUAGE - at this point you will see it shows one keyboard language, either UK or US
Select ADD
now select the keyboard option you wish to add, you may need the Windows CD.
After this is all done, you should have a blue icon in the botom right panel of the screen showing En.

In the future just left click on this and you can select whichever keyboard layout you wish to use at the time. This covers all programs, as it is an Operating System operation.

But I'll just continue to use the UK keyboard layout on my US computer. I've learnt where the keys are, it just confuses everyone else when they press the keys and something else pops up.

Anyway damn those americans for not putting a "£" sign on their keyboards.:)

hold alt and type 0163 on the numeric keypad. £ pops up. No need to swap keyboards.
