symbols is missing from the insert menu
Before I upgraded to XP I could insert trademarks and things like that in a
document by clicking on insert then selecting "symbols". Since upgrading to XP symbols is no longer on the insert menu. I'm using Word 2000. |

And in case you wonder how you lost the Symbol entry on the Insert menu,
dollars to doughnuts you did it by trying to insert a dash. The built-in keyboard shortcuts for dashes include the "minus" key on the numeric keypad. Many users overlook or fail to understand "Num" and use the hyphen key instead. If you press Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen, you get the so-called "Terminator Hyphen," which looks like a big minus sign. What this is used for is to remove menu entries (such as defunct files from the Work menu or MRU list). When Ctrl+Alt+Hyphen didn't insert a dash as expected, your next impulse is to try Insert | Symbol. Surprise! You just deleted it! Luckily the Terminator Hyphen is "used up" after one application (you can also turn it off with ESC if this happens again). -- Suzanne S.
