Don't think so. An upper case "S" in Symbol font should do it.

Hi Teethless mama and Gord,
Thanks for your replies but Alt+= doesn't do anything for me. I use XL2003
Hungarian version, default font is Arial.
Alt+0063 gives a ?. The interesting thing is that when I insert Σ via
Insert/Symbols(Font:Normal text, character code:03A3, character
set:Unicode/hexadecimal), a Σ is displayed in the cell, the CODE function
returns 63, the cell's font remains Arial.
When I type in a ? it is displayed as ? and CODE is 63.
Any ideas?

Regards,
Stefi

I wouldn't know about Insert Symbol, I'm on Excel 2000. If you need a
shorter cut, you could try a macro assigned to a custom toolbar button:

ActiveCell = "S": ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Symbol"

Thanks Andy, it works!
I still am interested in the question in my previous post (how can I enter a
Capital Greek Letter Sigma via keyboard, e.g. Alt+something?)

Stefi,

Have you tried to add the Greek keyboard to your computer? Sigma is
readily available as capital S. In this case you would need just the
combination Alt+Shift enough times to use Greek (probably cumbersome,
but just my 2 cents worth...)

If you're desperate for a keyboard method, define a shortcut key for the
macro -- CTRL+Shift+E perhaps -- and store the macro in your personal macro
workbook (so that it's available whenever you run Excel).
