need simple symbols in string ans table such as less than or equal to (≤)

[Aaron_KZ]

Yeah, I had found that out too.  The table doesn't allow the text selection.  However, I also learned that they wanted this table data to go to a CVS file anyway.  Just to verify, I tested and saw the cvs file also changes the less than or equal symbol (≤) to a question mark, which may explain why NI never bothered to change this symbol handling as well as Word or Excel.  I willo try to argue your point about trining the end users.  Wish me luck, lol

Thanks again for all the replies!

Have a great day!

You are right - it does not work in tables, but it also does NOT work in strings either. It changes the entire string to symbols font. It just so happens that numbers (1, 2, 3,...) are the same in both fonts so it "looks" like it works properly in my example.
