In Excel 2003, a toolbar can be customized using
Tools|Customize|Commands and dragging certain buttons to the toolbar.
Some of these buttons can be used to insert special characters while
typing, such as these:

= + - * / ^ ( ) : , % $

There is also a button with the Greek letter omega on it for calling
up the insert symbol dialog box.

I would like to create a toolbar consisting of buttons that insert
special characters on the fly like these buttons. I would like to
have a button for, among other things, each of the Greek letters from
the unicode set used by the Excel insert symbol dialog box. I don't
want to use the Symbol font, but rather the Times New Roman font with
its unicode Greek letters, which is what the Excel insert symbol
dialog box uses. Rather than having to invoke the insert symbol
dialog, scroll down to the Greek Letters, and select the one I want, I
want to just click on a toolbar button for that letter.

I assume there is a command that the built-in Excel buttons invokes
for the button for each of the characters

= + - * / ^ ( ) : , % $

I assume that I can invoke the same command, and just replace the
character. However, I can't figure out what those commands are.

Does anybody have any idea how to accomplish my goal? What commands
are invoked by the buttons listed above? Is there a comprehensive
list of Excel commands such as the list of Word commands he
