dollars to pounds

[mally]

I have Windows XP Home, have tried to prepare a=20
spreadsheet for accounts but the only options I have for=20
currency are either US Dollars or the Euro.
Does anyone know how I can apply British Stirling (=A3's)=20
as an alternative or a default without having to enter=20
the =A3 symbol every time I enter figures in a cell.
Here's hoping someone knows - Mally

Which spreadsheet program are you using? None is part of Windows XP,
and I guess you are probably using the Microsoft Works suite that comes
bundled with some new machines. Using Excel from Microsoft Office, if I
take Format - Cells then either Currency or Accounting provides for
every currency known, and then some.
