I get it to work great (mine for some reason only works with alt 187 even
though on the wingdings menu it does say symbol 177) if I am in font
windings, but I will be combining in the same cell with arial fonts, for
instance:
╗ Ø.0M-AM-BM - but formated, the ╗ comes out as the right symbol. Does
anything work while you are still in ariel?
:
If you have a string of Arial characters, for example, and want this one
Wingding in the middle you can do it. With my old Excel97 you can just
highlight that one character in Excel's little editing window and change the
font for it from the drop down font list. You won't see the change made in the
editing window, but when you hit enter you'll see it correctly in the cell
you're editing. Or I sometimes will just copy/paste the desired symbol into the
Arial string from a listing of special fonts.
I believe that with newer versions of Excel you can also just directly insert a
symbol from the drop down menus, but I can't say for sure what the process is
since I don't have the newer version.
Good luck...
