| keyboard shortcuts for inserting symbols in Excel & Word I need to insert several different symbols into Excel and Word documents (e.g., a check mark, greek letters). Since I do this frequently I would like to create a keyboard shortcut but have been unable to find out how to do this in either Excel or Word. I have Office 2007 with Windows XP2002. Does anyone have any idea on this?      |

| RE: keyboard shortcuts for inserting symbols in Excel & Word If you use the shortcut to enter the equation editor (alt =) then you can type \mu will enter lower case mu, \gamma will add lower case gamma \GAMMA will add upper case gamma etc, then hit enter to add the greek letter and enter again to close the equation editor "Jann" wrote: > > > "Jann" wrote: > > > I need to insert several different symbols into Excel and Word documents > > (e.g., a check mark, greek letters).

| RE: keyboard shortcuts for inserting symbols in Excel & Word Actually sorry, after hitting the \gamma , hit the spacebar to turn it to the greek letter, then hit enter to close the editor. this works in Word 2007, not sure about Excel "TomB" wrote: > If you use the shortcut to enter the equation editor (alt =) then you can > type \mu will enter lower case mu, \gamma will add lower case gamma \GAMMA > will add upper case gamma etc, then hit enter to add the greek letter and > enter again to close the equation editor > > "Jann" wrote: > > > > > > > "Jann" wrote: > > > > > I need to insert several different symbols into Excel and Word documents > > > (e.g., a check mark, greek letters).
