How do i place a 'tick' in Excel?

[Guest]

As in Word, is it is possible to Insert/Symbol and place a "tick mark" in
Excel? I have seen it in an Excel spreadsheet, but no-one seems to be able to
explain how.

You can use Insert, Symbol in Excel 2002 and 2003. Also perhaps you can
find the character you want in the Windows Character Map accessory. Also an
"a" in the Marlett font appears as a check mark.

Thanks Jim. Using v2000, but Windows character map helped.

Chip Pearson has an addin you can use.

(look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version)

And you didn't ask, but if you need to know what's in the cell, get another nice
addin from Chip:

There is even an easier way to enter tick mark in Excel. Change the FONT format of the cells in which you will be entering the tick marks to Windings 2. Then by typing Shift P in these cells will appear as tick marks.
