It's above number 3 but, when i press shift and 3 it comes out like this: #. Is there another way to view all the symbols and select it that way?
(boring question i know, its just bugging me thats all)!

Be sure you're pressing "shift" and not some other key (like "alt").
In absolutely worst cases (if you're stuck and need the symbol Right Now) you can find a £ sign in MS Word by going to Insert, then Symbol. The pound sign is in the middle of the 4th line down for, say, Arial text. You can insert it into Word, and then copy/paste it into the Internet page, or wherever.

That depends. What program are you using? What are you trying to get for a pound sign? In America, and other countries, # is the pound sign. If you are looking for the British Pound sign, and you are using Microsoft Word, you click the Insert drop-down menu, select Symbols... and that will open the special symbols window. You should be able to find it in there (and more). Also, when this window opens, look at the bottom...it tells you the name of the symbol you selected, allows you to make a shortcut key, and tells you what the windows standard shortcut is for that symbol (if there is one).

Your keyboard is set up as a US keyboard instead of one from the UK. Change your settings in control panel
