Hi -

Is there any way to get a diagonal instead of a diacritical in this? I

need
a 0 with a slash through it!!

Thanks!

The following field shows another way of producing a diacritic over any
character, and can thus be used for consonants (used for some

mathematical
symbols):
{EQ \s\up6(\f(,A))}


Replace the 'A' in the field with the desired character. You can also

vary
the overstrike line's height by changing the '6'. This approach has the
advantage of not automatically forcing an increase in the line height

for
the affected line.

Cheers
PS: You must create the field braces '{ }' via Ctrl-F9 - simply pasting

them
in or typing them won't work.

How do I type a repeating decimal mark. It needs to overstrike a

decimal
mark on the number. Thanks.
