character for less than or equal to

[noviceuser]

How do I print the character for "less than or equal to" in my spreadsheet (and ultimately into a label on a chart)? <= is not good enough, I need the character with one line under the <. Any ideas?

You could underline "<"

Might not work on a chart though, I don't know.

Thanks but I tried that. Any other ideas?

You can use Insert Symbol. The Mathematical Operators include the required symbols.

Is there a way of doing this in Excel? I always go to the Start Menu Character Map. The Mathematical Symbols are then a Subset.

Insert symbol is not an option in Excel like it is in Word. That's the problem.

Go to the start menu, then Programs...Accessories...Character Map.

Choose Arial font, and Mathematical Operators subset.
Choose the required operator (about five down, five across), then copy, then paste in Excel.

Thanks for the help. This worked great.

Well, i had a similar concern referring to the plus-minus symbol.Actually i wanted to make a table with experimental data, copy it from excel to word and then print it also.U can insert the symbol into excel by using the equation editor, but the problem is that u can c the symbol but u cannot print it (i don't if this matters u).So, i found a simple way u can do this.

1)Use a search engine to find a website that refers to the symbol u want.In your case search for "less or equal symbol".
2)Copy the symbol from the website.
3)Paste it into the cell u want (double click the cell before pasting so that the cell opens!).

I hadn't installed the Charachet map first place so i had to do something else.
