It is a pain, I agree. Try this: Tools|Customize|Keyboard Shortcut keys: Shift+F10 (or some other key that is open and you like) Category: Insert Function: Special Character Click the "Modify" button Now whenever you do Shift+F10 you will get the Special Characters table. After you've inserted one SC, Shift+F10 will open back up to the same Font and Subset that you'd selected previously. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
