Symbols in Excel

[Bernhard H. ichter]

I am using symbols like alpha (α), beta, gamma in Word a
lot. I created my own keybord shortcuts. Why doesn't
Excel seem to support that?

Use symbol fonts and hold down Alt key while typing
65 for capital alpha, 66 for capital Beta and so on,
small alpha starts at 97. To get the codes..
open a sheet, select column A and use symbol fonts..
In A1 put

=CHAR(65:65)

press enter, now select A1 again and drag copy down.
65 pertains to Alt + 65 and so on..
