I am trying use the send keys function to send alt codes to values that are selected within an excel worksheet. Is this possible? So far I haven't had any luck using a variety of combinations.

    Hello @Jmullins513 

     

    Using Sendkeys, you can send the combination of keystrokes.

     

    In your case, to use Alt key -> Select the Insert Modifier and enter the keys as shown below:

    The syntax can be {Alt}({H}{I}) or {Alt}(HI)
