Click on Insert on your bar. Then expand the drop down menu if it’s not. Then click on symbols. Scroll down a little more than half way or change your subset to Currency. That should get the symbols you need.
If you need more help, just type in “peso sign” in your help screen on Word.
Hope this helps.

Am laying out and fixing up my dad’s book for publication, and in the manuscript, a plain letter “P” was used in MS Word whenever a Philippine peso sign was needed.
Has anyone figured out a way to make a proper peso sign using InDesign CS? The font i am using is Book Antigua. Don’t know much yet about OpenType’s intricacies — is there a way of producing a peso sign that looks good using it? Say, a capital “P” and an equal sign sort of raised to the upper half of the letter “P”, both overlapping just right?
If there is no solution yet out there, short of using Fontographer or something like that which i would rather avoid, well, i can always spell out “pesos” whenever it is needed. Kaya lang, sayang. I don’t sew or cross-stitch for leisure, but i do kindda craft words together on the Mac, so am curious if anyone here has figured this out.
In InDesign go to Type>Glyphs and look for the special character you want to use
Huh? It shows in mine. Maybe the type your using does not have one. A work around would be to use another font that has the special character ? in it. Another work around that I used here is to use TextEdit. Go to Edit>Special Characters>Currency Symbols>Select your preference and click on Insert. Your pick will be inserted in the document you’re working on.
Good Luck!
Oops… The peso sign shows up when I Type it in but shows as a ? when posted. Anyways take my word for it. It works in other apps, definitely in InDesign.
