how would i put the "ctrl" button as text in a cell?

[monkeytrader]

wondering if it is possible to put the "ctrl" button as text into a cell so
excel would recognize it as the "ctrl" button...

ex) want to put in: blah"ctrl"p

i know this sounds vague, but if someone can help, i'd really appreciate it.
thanks.

Hi
really not sure what you're trying to do. What is your expected result?

thanks for your help earlier on.

i was wondering if excel can recognize the "ctrl" key inputted into a cell...

ex) i would like to have this text string inputted into a cell:

ABC<ctrl>P
where i would need to type <ctrl>key as a text that stands for the
key itself...

sorry, but i don't know how to more clearly explain this... thanks again
for your help, i really appreciate it.

Hi
you have to type this in manually

If you want to display something that looks like a CTRL key you need a
special font.
Use Google to search RRKeyCaps. Here is one result

The inserted symbol will not act as the real thing
