Use Alt 156 from your numeric keypad on a normal keyboard.
If you have a laptop then you MUST use the keypad made up from the letters centered around I. This you turn on usually from a function key F10 but which one depends on your laptop manufacturer.
Or you can plug in an external keyboard of course.

Here is a repeat of a reply I gave erlier to a similar question:-

I use a small utility called allchars from http://allchars.zwolnet.com/

This just sits in the background waiting to be used. To use it you press the Ctrl key then the keys that make up the character eg
key presses Ctrl 1 2 give ½
key presses Ctrl L - give £
key presses Ctrl ? ? give ¿
If you don't have a Spanish keyboard you can use it for all Spanish accented letters.
NB you just press one key at a time, not 3 keys togother.
It is a very easy to use and free utility.

Cheers

A very simple way if you have Microsoft Word go to Insert and then click on Symbol and then you have a several symbols, including the Pound sign, to choose from.
