Can anyone help me with a way to enter extended characters into a worksheet.

I can record myeslf entering something like <<ALT+0166 into a cell, but
the recorder shows the actual character, and not the keystroke sequence.

The reason I want to be able to do this is that I want to be able to write a
loop that enters all the characters in a character set into successive cells
in the worksheet thus:

For Counter=1 to 255
selection.formula= (whatever the answer is to this question) e.g.
ALT+0156
selection.offset(1,0).select
Next Counter

then formats them in a particular font, to produce and print character maps
for all characters in that font.

Not life-threatening, I know, but I'm just curious to know how it's done!

Cheers

Pete
