Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / October 2007Up and down arrow symbol
Hello, I would like to add an up or down arrow symbol while typing in a cell. I would like to be able to use the 'option key' to insert an arrow symbol. 1. I can add an up or down arrow symbol using 'add objects', but this takes time and is not apart of the cell text. 2. I can add an up or down arrow symbol using 'Wingdings 3' font, but then the cell is 'Wingdings 3' font which is no help. 3. Can I add the up or down arrow symbol to the geneva font. Thank you, If using Office 2004 try the OS X Character Palette. (Look it up in Mac Help if not familiar with the feature - you can add it to the menu bar for ready accessibility.) You should be able to find the glyph you want in most any of the Unicode fonts. I doubt Geneva contains it because that is an very old & seldom used font with a very limited character set.

Not what I wanted to hear, but know I know what I can not do. David On Oct 2, 4:52 pm, remarkda...@gmail.com wrote: > > If using Office 2004 try the OS X Character Palette.

So, you can type the cell contents, inserting the appropriate option key combo for the arrow. Then, select that character and Wingding the font. Takes a little time, but now the symbol stays where you want it to! jpdphd |
