When I enter (c) in a cell in Excel I get the copyright symbol. How can I
override this so I get (c)? I know in Word you can just hit the backspace
key but this doesn't work in Excel.

Hey!!

its quit simple. It is just making excel foolish

just select a cell then type ( c ),[double space between brackets and
"C"], and then enter. then select the cell and replace double space with no
space.
replace commond is ctrl+h

try once

Here are 2 approaches:

For single instance reversal:
Type (c) space
Excel converts it to the copyright symbol
Press Ctrl-Z (shortcut for Undo)
That should reverse the conversion

OR

To prevent all automatic conversions:
<Tools<Options<Spelling tab
Click the [AutoCorrect Options] button
Delete the copyright symbol line

Does that help?
