How to create the "¤" symbol
The "¤" is required in start and stop transaction descriptions. If you do not have that character on your keyboard, there are two alternative ways to create it.
Use ASCII code
- In the Transaction description dialog, place your cursor in the Field name edit box.
- Hold down the Alt key and, using the number pad on your keyboard, type the ASCII code for that character, 0164.
- (In the case of portables that do not have a number pad, there is usually an Fn key. Pressing this key in combination with the Alt key enables an extra numeric keypad overlaid on the alphabetical keys.)
- When you release the Alt key, the "¤" character appears.
Copy method
If the above method fails, the Windows accessory program Character Map allows you to copy and paste the character.
- Start Character Map and select the System font.
- Double-click the "¤" character.
- Click Copy to copy the character to the clipboard.
- Return to the Kofax ReadSoft Invoices window, place your cursor in the Field nameedit box and press Ctrl+V.
