I have a document that someone gave me and it had an arrow in it to indicate a downward trend. I want to know how the the creator put it in the document (I don't know who it was) and I want to be able to turn it so that it points up.

Example is attached.

Type "p" in the cell and change the font to Wingdings3. Look at the Windows Character Map for more options.

In XL2007, I went to Insert Symbol, Wingdings3, selected that symbol, but it still showed in the cell's font (Arial) as a 'p'

I would have thought that InsertSysmbol would have inserted that character in the selected symbol's font.

Interesting. Any thoughts?
