PICTURE RECOGNITION AS A ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTER
This isn't possible. AFAIK the closest you can get to it is to create your
own private character using the Private Character Editor and then select the character through the character map. This won't be a picture but a minature bitmap (your own font character) that you can draw. This private character will also appear in the formula bar unlike if you just format a character as Wingdings, Marlett etc. I doubt if it will be adequate because it will be too simplistic and too small. You can increase the font size on the worksheet so that you can see the detail but this won't affect the display in the formula bar. Instructions follow: 1. Click the Start button 2. Select Run 3. Type "eudcedit" in the window (exclude quotes) 4. Click OK 5. Select a hex code to associate the special character with 6. Draw the desired character in the editor that pops up 7. Click OK when finished 8. To access the character, call the Character Map. I'll assume you know how to do this. 9. Select All Fonts (Special Characters) from the font dropdown. The selection in the dropdown typically defaults to Arial. You need to go to the top of the list. 10. Click the character 11. Click the Select button and then the Copy button. You can now paste it to the worksheet. I doubt if the above is what you want but I think it's your only hope. I have no experience beyond brief experimentation.
