using a function to insert symbol
Hi ppl.
I've been using functions to make symbols from the Monotype Sorts font appear. I've always been using the CHAR(186) way of doing it, but it's not working anymore. I've set the cell to use Monotype Sorts font, and typed =Char(186), expecting to see a 5 on a black circle, but nothing shows up. 186 is the character code shown in insert- symbols. Hope someone can help me on this! Thanks |

using a function to insert symbol
Try Alt + 0186
Note: type the 0186 on the NumPad I don't have the Monotype Sorts font installed, but Wingdings and Alt + 0144 gives me a 5 on a black circle.
