Yesterday, we mentioned how we can insert Indian Rupee Symbol in microsoft’s word. I was casually browsing the internet and came across a mention by Amartya Bag, who has revealed a smarter way to insert Indian Rupee Symbol in Microsoft Word.
Here’s the method as mentioned by Amartya Bag :
How to Use the Indian Rupee Symbol in Microsoft Office
1. Download the Font (Rupees Foradian) provided by Foradian Technologies Inc (http://blog.foradian.com)
2. Install the font. (Copy the Font to Control Panel -> Fonts Folder)
3. Change the Font from the default (Times New Roman/ Arial/ Calibri) to Rupees Foradian Font.
4. Type the Rupees Symbol in Microsoft Word through the grave acent symbol – ` (the key just above “tab” button in your keyboard).
The process can be tweaked so that you can type in any font in MS Word yet you can get the Rupees symbol:
In MS Office 2002
1) Select the symbol (ie. Just like you do while copy pasting anything)
2) Click on Tools -> Autocorrect
3) In the Replace Text Box type in Rs.
4) Click on Add -> Ok
In MS Office 2007/ 2010
