Type a symbol useing shortcut keys rather the insert a symbol
I have a couple of symbols I use a lot. Is there a way I can type those
symbols using some type of keystroke shortcut rather than going through all the steps of inserting a symbol? In Word, it allows me to assign shortcuts, but I don't see that option in Excel. I tried creating a Macro, but when it runs, it jumps to the same cell each time. I want to be able to type my symbol, hit "Space" and begin typing my comment in Arial. |

You can use the autocorrect option to replace text. For example if you type
(c) into a cell it autocorrects to the copywrite symbol. To access these replacements use Tools - Auto Correct... -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "RJD" wrote: I have a couple of symbols I use a lot.

You may be able to use Alt+### where the # are keyed from the number pad.
