Insert symbol menu

[Stan]

Hi,

In MS-Word, if you click "insert - symbol" menu, a window pops up with
various symbols that you can insert into your workbook.
Is there a similar function in Excel?

Hi Stan

I believe Excel 2002 is the first version that have this.

Here's an answer I took out of a previous post by Dave Peterson:
If you're using xl2002+, you could use Insert|Symbol (like in MSWord).

If you're using xl2k or below, you could use a nice addin from Chip Pearson:

(look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version)

And you didn't ask, but if you need to know what's in the cell, get another
nice
addin from Chip:

That would depend upon which version of Excel you're running.

Excel 2002 and 2003 have the Insert>Symbol.

Earlier version have not.
