Excel Symbols

[Guest]

Hi

How do I place a tick symbol in an excel box signifying acceptance of the
conditions.

This is used in a spread sheet check list

It is an English symbol. In USA terminology it may be called a check

I would apreciate any advice given

Click INSERT on the menu & select SYMBOL. The WingDings font has a check
symbol, but you might want to look at other font sets to see variations, the
check in the WingDings font is a check box w/a check mark.

After locating the symbol click to select the character and click the INSERT
command button.

Format the cells to Marlett font then enter an "a" in the cell to see a tick.

You could do it with a doubleclick event if you wished.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal _
Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B1:B20")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo CleanUp
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
.Font.Name = "Marlett"
.Value = "a"
End With
Cancel = True
CleanUp:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste into that sheet module.

As written works on any cell in range B1:B20
