In excel how do I show a divide sign

[Doug]

I am trying to use the traditional divide symbol in a spreadsheet but I can
only find it in the "symbol" font. I want to use "Arial" font. Is there a
way of using the font I want?

Thank you to both you and Ardus Petus. It worked fine.

In case you need other symbols, Jon Peltier has an ASCII table that you
can download, with all the character codes:
