Bullets in Excel

'Insert'....'symbol'

You get more info by clicking on excel help and then searching for bullets.

Hey Tim,

Tried the help function first, but nothing came up for bullet points.

So then tried your way, but I don't have the 'symbol' option on my insert
menu. Am I missing something here. BTW I'm using Excel 97, does that make a
difference?

Thanks,

Mike

It might perhaps be a feature of 2003 which is what I have. (Also, I wasn't
meaning to be critical with my comment about help but when I looked at my
post again it may have seemed that way.) Not sure what else to suggest,
perhaps you could fudge something by chosing a thick font and bolding a dash
or something.

Hi,

If you hold down the "ALT" key and then type in 0149 using the numbers on
the key pad you will get a square bullet works in 2000 onwards but not 100%
sure in Excel 97.

Hi Tim
I have excel 2000 and when I look under "insert" there is no "symbol" there.
Is it under something else?
Also, when I type "bullets" in Help, I get nothing remotely resembling
information about bullets, lol.
I find it difficult to find the info I need in Excel help. It's there
somewhere, you just have to know their jargon, I guess.
I just go to the drawing toolbar, pick a shape, change the size to about 0.1
(be sure to check the "lock aspect ratio") and I get a bullet. It's a pain,
I'm sure there's a better way (which is why I'm looking here, hehe).
