Sorry, haven't logged in for a few days. All sorted now so hopefully your ok now! I have just emailed you re: email settings.
If anyone else has an issue with $ instead of £, this is usually due to not selecting UK when installing a new version of Windows (fresh or an upgrade) as most people just click 'Next' without realising it. This then automatically installs the default region setting (US) - both for the language and the keyboard, instead of UK. Some people may not even notice this until they go to use the £ sign or if they start to use other software that also uses it.
It's no problem changing the pc settings though so you just need to go to:
1. Regional settings:
Go to ‘Control Panel’, ‘Region’ - then in the ‘Formats’ tab make sure your format in the drop down is UK, then click ‘Location’ and select UK, then click ‘Formats’ tab again and click ‘Additional Settings’ then click the ‘Currency’ tab - and make sure you have £ selected.
This alone should sort it but it's also good to check:
2. Microsoft office:
Go to the ‘Start Menu’ and go to ‘All Programs’ then ‘Microsoft Office’, then ‘Microsoft Office Tools’ and click ‘Microsoft Office Language Preferences’. Make sure ‘English UK’ is selected and set as default. If it isn't there simply select the drop down menu and select - then set as default.
I hope this helps anyone else.
