    Use formula perhaps

    =CHAR(191)

    Try
    =CHAR(240)

    or with Wingdings 3 font
    =CHAR(112)
    or
    =CHAR(114)

    Hi James C

    No need to change the font. Insert symbol: Character code: 2206 > Unicode (hex).
    Regards Kevin

    Thanks,
    I know how to find that using the mouse, but as power users, we dont want to leave the keyboard. How can we do that?
    Thanks,
    J
