I am trying to create a custom character based on 3 stoplight images (1
green, 1 yellow and 1 red). I want these to be characters so that they can be
entered into a cell, rather than just be a floating image. How can I create
these as new symbols for me to insert?
 
Coryne,

You would need to get a Font editing program and create your own font. Then
you could assign your images to, say, the characters 1, 2, and 3, and when
you enter "1" into a cell formatted with your new font, you would get your
green light image.

HTH,
