Default Cell Format

What is the code in format Cells for

297m²

ie #,##0 "m????"

The "squared" symbol has been inserted via the InsertSymbol method but I
can not copy and paste into the Formatting Cells code box.

Any Ideas?

regards

Wayne

Wayne,

try the custom format:

#,##0 "m²"

To get the "squared" symbol you should hold down ALT and type 0178 on
the numeric keypad (don't use the numbers on the main keyboard).

Hope this helps.

Pete
