Symbols in Excel 2007 Chart
Dear Group,
Hello. I would like to use the greek mu symbol in an Excel 2007 histogram. I am able to convert the "m" into the proper "mu" symbol in the spreadsheet itself but this is not reflected in the resulting graphic. I need for my X axis label to be represented by the proper greek letter, not m. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you in advance. John McLaughlin |

Symbols in Excel 2007 Chart
In many fonts, holding Alt while typing 0181 on the numeric keypad produces
µ. This means you don't have to change the font for some of the characters in a text element (and many text elements cannot be formatted character by character). - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ wrote in message ups.com...

I didn't know about this method and did not expect it to work. Before you sent this message I went ahead and imported the graphic into PowerPoint without the labels and then put the labels in by hand- very time consuming. Your method will save me a great deal of time in the future. Thanks again.
