how would i put the "ctrl" button as text in a cell?

[Guest]

wondering if it is possible to put the "ctrl" button as text into a cell so
excel would recognize it as the "ctrl" button...

ex) want to put in: blah"ctrl"p

i know this sounds vague, but if someone can help, i'd really appreciate it.
thanks.

Hi
really not sure what you're trying to do. What is your expected result?

 

[Guest]

thanks for your help earlier on.

i was wondering if excel can recognize the "ctrl" key inputted into a cell...

ex) i would like to have this text string inputted into a cell:

ABC<ctrl>P
where i would need to type <ctrl>key as a text that stands for the
key itself...

sorry, but i don't know how to more clearly explain this... thanks again
for your help, i really appreciate it.

Hi
you have to type this in manually

If you want to display something that looks like a CTRL key you need a
special font.
Use Google to search RRKeyCaps. Here is one result

The inserted symbol will not act as the real thing
