That will be the answer for Word 2007, but the OP has not indicated that
he/she has that version.

All the way on the right in the insert tab, you might have a big button
that says Symbols from which you can pick Symbol. Or you might just have
a big button Symbol there. It is right to Equations

I cannot find the "Symbol" option on my "Insert" menu in Word. I know I
have
used this option before, and the Help option tells me this is where
"Insert
Special Character" is supposed to be. But I can't find it. In fact, I
cannot
find it anywhere. Any ideas? I'm wondering if it's a glitch in my
version or
something. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
