SYMBOL SHORTCUTS ~ ALT + 0176 and more 1

[MrsTFB]

I know that ALT + 0176 will give me the degree symbol. I need a similiar formula for a checkmark. I would also like the list, as I'm sure it exists, of all such shortcuts. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,
MrsTFB in TEnn

Hello, try this link:

http://udextensions.com/characters.asp

It gives a pretty complete list.

It varies slightly by font - use Windows Character Map

The other thing you can do is in cell A1 on any blank sheet put the following formula:-

=CHAR(ROW())

Then just copy that down to A256, and you then have your own list.

The ROW() bit will effectively give you the following:-

A1 =CHAR(1)
A2 =CHAR(2)
A3 =CHAR(3)
A4 =CHAR(4)
etc

Thanks for that Ken, I've far more chance of remembering how to recreate the list than remembering even a couple of shortcuts!

Thanks for all your help, i don't see a checkmark in any of these lists. Maybe you just have to insert a checkmark. Do you know of a shortcut for checkmark?

Change your font to WingDings and you should see it there. Code 252 for a tick, or 254 for a tick in a box.
