I have a document open in Word 2007 on Windows XP running within Vmware Fusion, hosted from Mac OS X 10.5 and using a UK keyboard. How do I enter the #(hash) key? I'm reduced to choosing it from the Insert>Symbol menu item. I've already tried Alt-3, Ctrl-Alt-3, Cmd-Alt-3 without any luck. Edit: I'm on a Macbook. I'm running Vmware Fusion 2.0.4(159196). |

The Hash key (#) is effectively entered by using Alt+3 (either left or right). However, under Windows XP and VMWare Fussion, Left Alt is probably mapped to Windows Alt (which wouldn't be the same). Therefore I suggest you try with the right alt on your Mac, and then 3 (which should print the # symbol). This works on my Spanish keyboard, but as far as I can remember, US Layout has the same symbols under the numbers (or most of them). I can only imagine that UK layout is more or less the same thing, sans a few differences. |

Found it after about 2 hours of trying... For UK Mac users running windows the # "hash key" is the "backslash key" next to the enter key. |

Shift + 3 works for me. I am using a Mac bought in the UK, so the keyboard may differ. I use VMWare Fusion 4.10 and Windows 7 32 bit. This did work in notepad though. |
