I am not using Excel 1997 from many years. However, you can use this trick if
nothing works.
You can use Character Map from Start - Program - Accessories - System Tools.
You must know some basic that the characters you will see in CM are depends
on the Fonts. You can change the Font and can select the symbol as required.
Select the Symbols - Click Select - Click Copy
Open Excel - Click Paste
Furthermore, you can use shortcuts.
For example, if you want to use this symbol in Excel "©". In Character Map -
Times New Roman has been used to pick this symbol. What you have to do is
remembering the Code of this symbol which is ALT+0169 for Times New Roman
font.
Just open Microsoft Excel and press ALT+0169 for ©. This code can generate
different symbols for different fonts.
Let us know, if information is useful to you.

The "WingDings3" font has a profuse amount of up and down arrows, depending
on the exact style you're looking for.
Format the cell(s) (rows, columns) you're looking to use to WingDings 3.
Then, the *easiest* is 0104 and 0105, which can be attained by simply typing
a lower case " h " and a lower case " i ".
Other style *up* arrows are:
0143, 0163, 0183, 0187, 0191, 0199, 0211, 0219, 0227
For *down* arrows, just increase the above codes by 1.
