In Win 98 SE, Excel 97, I can't do it with the character map - I have to do
something like

Activecell.Value = chrw(8730)

steve,

you slime :) ... giving Tom the credit... for my solution :(

just kidding!!!, but I DID mention charmap in my original post, which
was in a different thread though :)

autocorrect will insert the lettercode, not swap fonts.
and the squareroot char is included in all standard (opentype)
fonts distributed with ms products since win98 I believe.
(Arial, Tahoma, Verdana Courier New etc)

You can probably do it with char map if you are using an NT based
operating
system.
