text (c) entry

R

Ron Carruthers

How do I create the text label (c) in a cell? Every time I enter it alone,
or as part of a longer text string, it shows as a c inside a circle, the
copyright symbol, I presume. I just want left bracket, small c, right
bracket. Excel from Office XP.
Thanks

It's an Autocorrect substitution.

Type CTRL-z immediately after the substitution to reverse it.

Or you can disable autocorrect via Tools/Autocorrect and uncheck the
Replace text as you type checkbox (or jut remove the (c) entry). Note,
however, that changes to Autocorrect apply Office-wide, not just to XL.

Hi Ron,
If you go to Tools>Auto correct you can delete the reference to the (c)
becoming the copyright symbol altogether, or just alter it so it won't
conflict with (c).

Hi Ron.
Go to Tools > AutoCorrect Options and delete the entry
that replaces (c) with ©.
