Is it possible to print a non-alpha numeric
character in a cell? Like the user defined
grahics in the old 8 bit machines. I'm after
a up arrow and a down arrow.

I assume a .jpg isn't the way to go, or is it?

Thanks - Kirk

Arrows exist in some fonts. Go to InsertSymbol and select something like
Symbol or Wingdings as the font.

Thanks Ian, I found just the thing and by adding a new column just
for that I can easily control colours and justicfication. Looks great!

It was chars 199 and 200 in Wingdings3.

But - what it someone ele doesn't have Wingdings3? I suppose I could
check if font exists and take some action... or - can it be embeded
like Word does ?

Thanks - Kirk

I don't know if characters can be (or are automatically) embedded, but you
could try using characters from a more common font. I think everyone should
have Symbol and Wingdings (they come with Windows, I think) but I'm not sure
about Wingdings3.
