Insert Symbol

From time to time you may want to enter a symbol onto your worksheet which does not exist on your keyboard. For example, let’s say that you want to insert the greater-than-or-equal symbol into the sentence ‘Is a ≥ 12?’.

Start typing your sentence.

When you reach the point when you need to insert the symbol, select the Insert tab on the Ribbon. Click Symbol, which appears in the Text group.

The Symbol dialog box will appear. Scroll until you find the symbol you want. Click it and press Insert. Double-clicking the desired symbol will also work.

The symbol has now been inserted into your worksheet. Close the dialog box and complete your sentence.
