Division Sign
Hi,
Does anyone know how to insert a "divided by" sign into a cell - perhaps using wingdings? I don't want this "/" but more like "./." I hope that makes sense - thanks in advance |

Does anyone know how to insert a "divided by" sign into a cell - perhaps
using wingdings? I don't want this "/" but more like "./." Hold down the "Alt" key while typing these 4 digits on the numeric keypad: 0184. Then set the font to "Symbol" for the cell. Hope this helps. |

Hello Peo,
Is there a way to display all the different Alt + Number possibilities such as the one you noted? I notice that Alt + 1 I get a smile and so on, I'd like to see them all listed. Thank you, this is very handy! :-) "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: Arial font, hold down alt key, type 0247 on the numpad, release alt press enter Regards, Peo Sjoblom "James Hamilton" wrote: Hi, Does anyone know how to insert a "divided by" sign into a cell - perhaps using wingdings?

In xl2002+, you can use Insert|Symbol.
So if you don't run xl2002+, you'll have to find a different way. You can hit flying windows R (or windows start button|Run) type charmap hit enter or even windows start button|Programs|accessories|System tools|charmap if you like to mouse. Chip Pearson has an addin that may help (if you're using xl2k or lower). http://www.cpearson.com/excel/download.htm (look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version) Bagua wrote: Hello Peo, Is there a way to display all the different Alt + Number possibilities such as the one you noted?

Another way, copy down this formula 255 rows
=CHAR(0&ROWS($A$1:A1)) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom Excel 95 - Excel 2007 Northwest Excel Solutions www.nwexcelsolutions.com "It is a good thing to follow the first law of holes; if you are in one stop digging."

If you insert a new row 1, you'll see a difference.
By (my opinion only) in cases like this, I don't see much difference at all. And if you start in a cell that's not in row 1, you'll see a difference.
