If you format the cell to Marlett font you can just enter the letter "a" and get
a checkmark.

"h" will give you a black dot.

See the Marlett CharMap for more characters.

I took a peek at the 'What's New' tutorial when I started using Excel 2003
last year and remember that there was a keyboard shortcut to insert a bullet.
It involved using the 'a' key but can't remember the rest. I'm getting tired
of manually formatting the bloody thing and hope someone knows the shortcut.
