Special Symbols in Excel 2000
 
I have a client who is trying to type the charcters (C) into a cell but they
keep changing to the copyright symbol. In Word you can just press the
backspace key to have the symbol convert back to regular characters but that
does not seem to work in Excel. Is there anyway you can type the characters
(C) without having them change to the copyright symbol, using Excel 2000?

All help is greatly appreciated.

With Excel 2003, control-Z works for me.

To deactivate the change altogether, it can be deleted from the list under
Tools Autocorrect Options Autocorrect

If you wouldn't want to disable the Autocorrect, while typing in a cell,
Type (C)<space <Ctrl <Z, and continue typing.
