I know Word has the symbol tables that you can just pick from, and insert it. But how can I do that in Excel? Specifically, a company catalog is in Excel, and some of the inventory items are "trademarked" or "registered"...

Is it possible to get the "c" in a circle or the "R" in a circle, without going through ten tons of headache?.... like making it in WordArt, resizing it, blah blah blah...

Help please.... urgent.

Thanks

Yes, there is a far easier way.

In WinXP, click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map

Locate the symbol you need to use, click it, click Select at the bottom, then click Copy. Once copied, simply paste it into Excel.

Note: If you do not have the Character Map installed, it's an option you can add to Windows through Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components.
