Part II--- Henry,

The check mark character in the Table, copied as you indicated, worked real
fine.
Thank you.

Carlos,

In your cell, change the font to Wingdings.
The tick (Checkmark) is in there.
Go to your cell and hold down the left Alt key while you type in 97 on the
numberpad.
Release the Alt key and the tick will be there.

Alt 97 works on my machine at work (Win 2K, XL2K) but not at home (XP,XLXP)?

You can go to ProgramsAccessoriesSystemToolsCharacter Map and look in
Wingdings. Copy the tick to a spare cell. You can copy this to wherever you
need.
