anybody have an easy way to add electrical symbols or fonts to msword docs?

AAaaaaggghh!!! I can't make it work now!!

{Lots of pages of Greek letters and stuff in Windows under character map via the clipboard.}

¡× - section
©ª - phi
¥Ä - delta


Also, within Word, try Insert/Symbol

I know if you hold down the "Alt" key, and type 0216, it becomes "theta" or the phase symbol

Of course it won't do it here, darn thing just keeps binging at me

º alt167
Ø alt 0216
® alt 0430
™ alt 0665
© alt 0681

Test to see if these work...

Cindy,

be sure your " Num Lock " is on to use the " Alt + numeric keys ".

How can the Square Root symbol be printed ?

alt+251 is one way...

Alt+251 only prints an Underline " _ " on my machine.

This is the chart http://www.cdrummond.qc.ca/cegep/informat/Professeurs/Alain/files/ascii.htm

But does the software here at ECN support these fonts?.

It might depend on your browser settings. In the earlier posts on this thread, the special characters are showing up correctly on my machine. So the software used for the forum is definitly supporting the extended character set.

The "Character Encoding" on my browser, Mozilla Firefox, is set to the default, which is "Western (ISO-8859-1)".


To insert a special character into a post, I usually go to Word and use the "Insert; Symbol" function to put the character in a dummy document, and then I cut and paste it into the post.

I just re-read the original post, and see that you were asking about MS Word, not about posts to ECN. As I mentioned in my previous post, there are many special characters that you can place in Word documents by way of the "Insert; Symbol" menu selection. Also, there are some standard typefaces like WingDings and DingBats that consist solely of special characters that you don't find in many of the more normal typefaces.

That kind of stuff? Go to Insert, symbol, then reassign one of the function keys to be that character. No this forum won't accept the Func key directly, I did a cut/paste from MS word to get it here
