That is question mark.
Your keyboard should have one. Mine is just left of the right SHIFT key. If this is not what you are looking for, please post with some more detail.

One way: Select a cell (or a position in the text in a cell) and click on Insert Symbols. Be sure you are looking at the Wingdings font. Near the end I find the check mark. It corresponds to ASCII code 252 in the Wingdings font. |

Hi Jo,
That is a square root sign. ? Hold down Alt, type 251 (on the number pad) then let go of Alt It doesn't work in all fonts but it should work in most of the regular fonts. Of course what actually constitutes a *regular* font is debatable but for my money it is ones like Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, Courier etc. HTH Martin "Jo taylor" <Jo wrote in message ...

From the menu bar, select 'Insert'. From the drop-down menu select
'Symbol...'. From the 'Symbols' tab, click on the 'Subset' drop-down and select 'Mathematical Operators'. You should see the square root (checkmark) symbol. To insert the symbol, you can double-click on it or click it once and then select 'Insert'. Once you've inserted it once, you can copy/paste to other cells as needed.

Format the cell where you want a check mark with the font Wingdings 2. Then
type a capital P in that cell. Resize the font as desired. Hope this helps, Hutch "Jo taylor" wrote: I saw a document with in a cell. What do I need to do to recreate this symble or where can I find out how to use it? |
