Default How do I create the symbols for feet and inches.

No, I do not.

I get the correct characters when I insert them using the Symbol dialog box,
but not when using the direct characters by number. In the Symbol dialog, do
you see the correct symbols in those positions when Symbol font is selected?

Thanks, Herb, but when I insert symbol 0162 I get Ţ. With 0178, I get Ÿ.
I'm
using MS Word (MS Office 2003) on Windows XP. Does that make a difference?

Try Insert - Symbol. Set the Font: to Symbol. I see a serviceable mark
for
feet in Character code 162, and for inches in 178.
