As I was reading through these archived messages looking for a thread on
inserting symbols and ran across this thread.....

so, how do I insert the TM symbol in a cell?

Yes, it really is "symbol" I wish I could include a screenshot showing both
the toolbar itself and its presence on the list of included toolbars, but I
can't. Its not a huge deal, since I know how to get the symbols the
conventional way, but it would be a timesaver if it worked.

If you have a "symbol" toolbar in Excel 2003 then some third-party application
or add-in has put it there.

There is no such toolbar native to Excel 2003.

What is the name of the Toolbar? Is it really "symbol"?

There is no "Insert" button for this toolbar. I think you are thinking of
the insert, symbol menu. If you right click in the toolbar area and then
select the "symbol" toolbar (from near the bottom of the list) you get a
toolbar with a lot of symbol buttons on it, like bullets, a division sign,
various stylized characters, etc.... My problem is: how to use these buttons.

Thanks!

Excel 2003 has a Symbol Toolbar that looks like it is designed to allow the
easy insertion of commonly used symbols. The problem is, I can't figure out
how to use it. I have tried dragging the symbols from the toolbar onto a
worksheet, copying them, double clicking them, etc... Nothing works. Does
anyone have any idea how to do this? It's not even in Excel Help.
