I'm on an XL 2K machine right now, and I've *no problem* entering characters
into "AutoCorrect" using <Alt and the char code with the numbers from the
num keypad, *not* the numbers under the function keys.

I've added some Wingdings symbols to AutoCorrect options in Word, and I
thought I could access them in Excel but I can't. I tried to add the
symbols
to AutoCorrect in Excel by using the character mapy Copy feature. But
Excel
won't let me paste the symbol (or type its character code with ALT) into
AutoCorrect.

Any help greatly appreciated, and thanks.
