Ctl g does not work.  It teverts to regular text.  Is this possible in any table or matrix.  The text is in quotes in the table.

I understand your question to mean that you want to use Greek letters in a string variable.
Unfortunately, the editing options in a string are indeed very limited. For example, you can't select individual characters to copy or delete them, and, as you noticed, the shortcut Ctrl+G doesn't work either.
You can still use Greek letters, however, by copying and pasting them into the string. You have at least three options:
1) Start the Windows program "Character Map" and copy the characters from there.

2) Create a math region (a variable name) in Mathcad using greek characters and copy from there

3) Create a text region in Mathcad using greek characters and copy from there

You cannot copy a math regions which contains math operators like division or exponentiation. just copy the rho to a string and type the rest
