How can I encode a message written in Webdings?

I'm not sure what you mean. Can't you just change the font to
something readable like Arial?

Not really. See, we were at a mototcross banquet this weekend and on the
back of a letter, the NEMA organization wrote a letter in Webdings, and if
you can figure out what it says, there's discounts, free stuff, sponsorships,
etc. to motocross places across the east coast. I don't have it online where
I can highlight it and change the font? Is there a guide somewhere that
shows which key on the keyboard stands for a certain symbol?

Put this in A1 and B1

=CHAR(ROW(A1))

and copy down to A255, B255

change column A to Webdings, B to Arial, you have a decoder, most values
should be in the region rows 48 to 130

"Encode" means what?

Change the format to a different Font Type?

Yes, but I don't have the letter online where I can just go in and change the
font. See my last reply to Chip.

Sheri

Open Excel.

Create a new woekbook or insert a sheet in a n existing book.

In A1 and B1 enter =CHAR(ROW())

Copy down 255 rows. Format A as Arial Font and B as Webdings.

Compare the two. The row number will be the ascii character.

And then NEMA will change the font color of the original letter to
white. Then you'll really have a problem decoding it. <g
