How can I find how the character number for Pi? or other greek letters for that matter? Also is there a way to use greek letters and other symbols on forms?

Thanks for any help.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
I am not sure how or what you are using your letters for?
I use "Character map" in Windows. You can access it by Hitting the start button> Programs> Accessories.
You can copy and paste in any cells you need the Greek letters.

Michael,

I am guessing that you need to have this program installed to access it, as I do not see it anywhere under my accessories (I am using Windows 2000 also and Excel 2000).

Do you know where this "Character Map" program came from? Is it an extra on the Windows Installation CD, or an external add-on program?

Just curious, as it sounds like this might be a useful program to have ...

Joe,

I find it very useful from time to time. I have always had it, but I know that I had to hand-create a shortcut once to it, I just can't remember if I had to do it again this last time I upgraded computers. On my system now (XP) I have it in Accessories | System Tools. But if you have to do a search, look for CharMap.exe
