Thumbs up Answer: How to access different glyphs in MS Word?

Yes, there is a way to access different glyphs of OpenType fonts in MS Word without having to open the character map. Here's how:
  1. First, make sure that you have an OpenType font installed on your computer. You can check this by opening MS Word and going to the Font dropdown menu. Look for any font that has "OpenType" in its name.
  2. Next, select the text where you want to insert a glyph and place your cursor where you want the glyph to appear.
  3. Now, press the Insert tab on the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  4. In the Symbols section, click on the Symbol dropdown menu and select More Symbols.
  5. In the Symbol dialog box that appears, make sure that the Symbols tab is selected.
  6. From the Font dropdown menu, select the OpenType font that you want to use.
  7. You should now see a list of all the available glyphs for that font. Scroll through the list to find the glyph that you want to insert.
  8. Once you've found the glyph, click on it to select it, and then click the Insert button to insert it into your document.

That's it! This method allows you to quickly and easily access different glyphs of OpenType fonts in MS Word without having to open the character map.
