Substitute Text for Plus or Minus
There are lots of tutorials on the web.
Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he http://www.contextures.com/xlvba01.html David McRitchie has an intro to macros: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm Ron de Bruin's intro to macros: http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm If you search these newsgroups for "tutorial macro excel", I'm sure you'll find tons of suggestions--heck, you could even search the web (bing.com or google.com) and get lots.
