Even your mail client or the mail transmission system cannot cope with it, it seems. ... is not available in any version of Open Office under "CURRENCY SYMBOLS". Sorry, but where is this list of "Currency symbols", please? You don't even say what sort of document you are trying to create. If you are wanting to include this symbol in, say, a text (Writer) document, you just need to use a font that includes this symbol, which is Unicode U+20B9. Fonts are installed in your operating system, not specifically in an application such as OpenOffice, so you need to obtain a font that includes this. My Window 10 system certainly includes a number of fonts that do. Use Insert | Special Character... to insert a single instance. To insert multiple instances, you can copy the first instance, or type (say) "#R" and then use Find & Replace to convert these en masse later, or even perhaps use AutoCorrect. Or are you creating a spreadsheet (Calc) document? (You kept this a secret!) The list of symbols in cell formats for the currency INR shows twelve varieties of symbol - though the one for "English (India)" is indeed the "Rs." that you apparently don't want. But you can get around this by including as the currency symbol the code "[$#]", where "#" represents the symbol you do want, pasted in from the technique above. (I cannot show the real symbol here, as my mail client and very probably the mail system will not accept it.) Exactly the same applies to Number Format in a table cell in a text (Writer) document So you can achieve everything you want, I think. I will be grateful if this could be done in a simple manner, just like we can insert $ ¥ £ . I think you can do this - providing you have a font that includes the required glyph. This Indian symbol must be available in the list of Currency Symbols. Thank you for your time. I hope you will do this soon. If you want the spreadsheet formatting to be changed, you can report the matter as a bug or enhancement request at the web site. Start at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/HowToFileIssue . Do remember that OpenOffice is a collaborative project: you could offer to make the change yourself. ps: Wrote earlier a year back, and nothing has been said about it. There is nothing from you in the list archive. Nor can I see that any issue has been submitted about this. I trust this helps.

I will be grateful if this could be done in a simple manner , just like we can insert $ € ¥ £ . ₨ is not a symbol. This was before the symbol was introduced a few years back.. This Indian symbol must be available in the list of Currency Symbols. Two ways you can achieve this: 1. In OpenOffice go to Insert -> Special Character select for example Font Times New Roman and in the Subset select Currency Symbols at the right site of the top row you see the required symbol. 2. In Windows open the Character Map select again the same font, half way the bottom you select Unicode Subrange in the Group by field This opens a Group by window where you select Currency and you find your symbol Thank you for your time. I hope you will do this soon. N ps: Wrote earlier a year back, and nothing has been said about it. I got a mail saying it is somewhere in the open office.

And when I copy/paste the errant text to a new OpenOffice window, it comes out fine - the original correct text - there as well. But the mystery is not solved because when I 'cut' the 27 line paragraph, as well as the previous and following paragraphs, from the original text, and then copy/paste the 'good' text from the new window back into the original text, it still comes out weird, that is: the same. You could try two things: 1. Select the 27 lines paragraph and press Cntr+M which restores the default formatting. If that doesn't solve your problem 2. Copy the whole document into a new document. So I don't know how to restore this paragraph in the original text. In short, here is the story: The error-free paragraph has 27 lines and about 60 characters per line amounting to about 1600 characters. But what I see on the screen is a total of just 83 characters on 44 lines. Many of the 44 lines are blank, and on no line do the characters extend further than 12 characters from the left margin! So about 1520 characters from the 27 lines are missing and what is shown is unintelligible. Since, as mentioned above, I cannot cut/paste the error into this email, instead I will copy the error, character by character, below. The very first line of the error text is a squiggly red line that extends all the way across the page which was not in the original. Below that squiggly red line, the text between the two '= = = = = ' is what I see: = = = = = = = = = someone i hi the same. If i how toimprove themselv - if theywan u to - viaedu tion, for example. seem to = = = = = = = = = = The problem I still have is that even though I do have a good version of the problem text in a different file, I remain unable to reinsert it back into the document. When I cut/paste what looks like good text from the other file, it still comes out as the 83 characters shown above. Presumably I am not the very first user to have come across this problem. So I am hoping the explanation of how to avoid it in the future, and the solution for restoring the paragraph back to its proper place will be trivial? I have several hundred pages of similar material which remains unaffected. At least, so far. Thank you for your help with this.

Or you could try /Edit /Paste Special in OpenOffice and select "Unformatted text" from the popup menu. is means you will have to reformat your text, but Paste Special should also strip any unseen formatting from your insertion.
