I upgraded to Office Professional for XP. In Excel I need a symbol, but it is
grayed out in the Insert Menu and won't work. Their instructions say it will,
but it won't. What can I do to activate symbol?

Couple of possibles.

If the worksheet is Protected or Shared, the Insert>Symbol is unavailable.

Have a look under Tools>Share Workbook and Tools>Protection.
