How do I get the Euro symbol by default in a spreadsheet using Win 98

This may be a bit tricky, but
select a cell and hold down ALT, on number pad type 0128
Release Alt
Select this symbol from the formula bar at the top of the screen as text ..CTRL c
Go to format cells, custom and enter this symbol ..CTRL v enter a space and type 0.00

this should get it for you.
