Thanks Lisa Kay. You know, I think this just might be my favourite reading challenge because it is fun and so achieveable. Now what's up for February... ooh, Valentines Day reads???
So glad you like it, Lisa. We have to thank the SOS group - which includes Sandra - as they were the originators. Yes, someone is working on their ideas for February now. They said they'd have them to me by Wednesday (hopefully).

Easiest way to make stars is to copy and paste. There is a formula but I always forget. LOL.
Hey, does Ctrl+V (paste) work for you? ★★★★★ Or even Ctrl+C (copy), then Ctrl+V.

If you want the code it is (without the spaces)
& # 9733 ★ solid star
& # 9734 ☆ empty star
★ ☆ Ah, yes. That works, Brandilyn. Thanks!

you don't have to have a mac, I just say that because I do and Ctrl+v and Ctrl+c doesn't work on a mac :)
The code works on an PC as well.
This should work on your PC, Melissa, without the spaces, it does on mine (Thanks, Brandilyn):type in & # 9733 for ★
type in & # 9734 for ☆
