How do I add the Symbols option to my Insert menu item?

Hi Mac,
If you have Excel 2000 or earlier you don't have that option in Excel, but you
can access the CharMap as a toolbar icon or from a menu.

or if you want to see a list of characters you might want to look at
Font Tables as Rendered by your browser

Chip Pearson has a Symbolizer Addin to access 200 symbols.

Good point David.
Forgot that 2000 and earlier had no Insert>Symbols function.

I followed your instructions but the Symbols option does not exist in the
list of commands
the thing is that I used to be able to insert symbols but I had to
re-install Excell and have now lost the ability to insert symbols

What version of Excel? Only 2002 and later have this available AFAIK.
BTW "Symbols" is not in the list of commands.
It is in the list under Commands>Insert.
If you have no other customizations you wish to preserve try
Customize?Toolbars>Worksheet Menu Bar and "Reset".
