Thanks forgot I could copy the list. I went off and used this http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html

Again a little manual work but I basically achieved the same result.

In reply to Alex. I think all you'll need to do is copy the formula in the tutorial from row 1 all the way down to 255 to get all the characters in a font. If you want to use these characters elsewhere you can copy the list and paste special as values so they aren't dependent on the row they were entered in anymore.

This is great. Do you know if I can get the full character code as a list so I can past it into excel? Currently manually entering each symbol.

This is a great way to explore what the various fonts have to offer in terms of special characters. One tweak I would make is to put the name of the font in Row 1 and use the formula
=CHAR(ROW()-1)
Nice post!

That is a roundabout way to do it, really, considering I’ve always found the “Insert > Symbol” option to be quick and easy, but if you’re working with more than one character, it would be handy to simply have a list of them nearby that you can copy and paste.
