Try this:

Sub dk()
MyText = "7DayD"
Range("B2") = MyText
Range("B2").Characters(5, 5).Font.Name = "Symbol"
End Sub

Hi Group,

I have a cell where I am trying to put in some text:
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 5).Value = "7Day?"

but I am unable to get the ? character to work. Possibly I have to use
unicode?

Thanks,
David
