Excel 2003 makes available a custom toolbar button for the equals sign.
When you click the equals sign an equals sign is placed in the active
cell and the insertion sign (the lower dash) is located right after the
= in the same active cell.  I like using this to build formulas and
combine it with some of the other buttons such as +,-,/, and *.

Is there a way to create a macro that does this same thing?  I would
like to create some for other keyboard entries.  I haven't been able to
find a way to insert a character and keep the cell active as done with
the equals sign button.

Thanks
