How do I insert: A {a symbol (member of)} B
I'm try to write an equation where A is a "subset" of „¦ using the horizontal
member with an equals line under it. I've look at math symbols and Word 2007 equation writer, but I don't see the symbol. Is there one? |

How do I insert: A {a symbol (member of)} B
Are you looking for Unicode 2286, "subset or equal to"? (I don't know
what you mean by "horizontal member.") Type 2286 on the regular keyboard, then Alt-X. Cambria Math, Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans, and Lucida Sans Unicode are fonts that include that character.

If you're using the equation writer (Alt+=), this character has a Math
AutoCorrect shortcut. Type \subseteq and then press the spacebar. In regular text, you have two possibilities. One is to go to Office button Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options Math AutoCorrect, and check the box to use Math AutoCorrect in regular text; then use the \subseteq shortcut. The other way is to type the number 2286 and then press Alt+X. The way to find this and similar symbols is to click Insert Symbol More Symbols to open the dialog; set the font to Cambria Math; set the Subset to Mathematical Operators; and scroll through the display. When you find the character you want, you can click it and click the Insert button, or you can note the shortcut key (or set a different one), or you can add an AutoCorrect entry to insert it. Besides Cambria Math, you'll find this character in Arial Unicode MS and in Lucida Sans Unicode. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

How do I insert: A {a symbol (member of)} B
One way to find the answer quickly for almost any character is to first get
the Unicode character value. I searched Google for "Unicode subset of character" and found that the Unicode Character 'SUBSET OF' is U+2282. Type the number (without the U+) in the text, then press Alt+x. Or, in the symbol dialog, choose one of the fonts that has lots of Unicode characters (for example, Cambria math, Arial Unicode, or Lucida Sans Unicode). Type the number into the character code box. Then double click the highlighted character to insert it into the text. If I don't know the name of the character I visually search the symbol dialog with Arial Unicode as the font.
