Symbols & Shortcuts

[Loretta]

Hello;

Can someone tell me a good add in or if it's possible to make a symbol
shortcut in Excel for editing and reference/review purposes like you can in
Word?

 

[Gord Dibben]

What type of symbols?

You mean paragraph marks and stuff like that?

Excel is not well suited to be a word processing application.

To insert symbols go to Insert>Symbol and choose.

If you're using office 2002+, you can use:
Insert|symbol

Chip Pearson has an addin that may help (if you're using xl2k or lower).

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

Thoes suggestions are half the battle, in word when you insert a symbol you
can assign it a shortcut, but it appears you cannot in Excel??

Maybe you could create a macro to insert a symbol and assign a shortcut to that
macro.
