Default How to insert symbols if you don't have a symbol menu?

Hi all!
I'm working with excel 2004 for mac. Microsoft help tells me, I can insert
symbols by clicking on "insert" and choosing "symbol". Only problem there is
that my "insert" menu doesn't contain a symbol item to choose. Is there any
other easy way to insert symbols? I need to use a lot of different Greek
letters in text.

Thanks!

I think Mac has character palette (something similar to Character Map in
windows), you can view the symbols that you need and copy it and paste it
onto Excel (you may have to set the appropriate font).
