Help and Support Centre tells us this: Using Character Map You can use Character Map to copy and paste special characters into your documents, such as the trademark symbol, special mathematical characters, or a character from the character set of another language. Open Character Map. Notes a.. To open Character Map, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Character Map. b..

laptop. Bernard "Gord Dibben" <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote in message ...

Thanks Bernard
Most times I add the NumPad caveat.

Plus or minus character ...Its ASCII value
A couple of hopefully helpful hints: Once you've gotten the character into
one cell, you can then copy it to the clipboard to paste in other places if you need to do this a lot. While the method that Gord (and Bernard) would be the preferred one, you can get a pretty good simulation of the symbol by underlining the + symbol: while typing, just before entering the + key, hit [Ctrl]+[u] to begin underlining, type the + and then [Ctrl]+[u] again to turn off underlining. Of course this is pretty much useless if the entire text in the cell is to be underlined. But there's little or no ambiguity if you use [ALT][0][1][7][7] (from the number pad <g).
