New Machine - New Version (2007)...Can't Find Certain 'Symbols'
Hello again...
Just loaded Word 2007 on my new PC; & cannot find the "Check" or "Checkmark" symbol for the life of me. Is it still there? How do I locate it? Thanks, mark4man |

New Machine - New Version (2007)...Can't Find Certain 'Symbols'
I see [at least] three checkmarks when I click Symbol - More Symbols in the
Insert tab. Two are Wingdings 2 (49th and 51st characters shown; decimal codes 80 and 82). The other is in Webdings, the 66th character shown (decimal code 97). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "mark4man" wrote in message ...

Herb...
Just out of curiosity...what would the html code for that character be (if you know)? I'm using it in a document I'm publishing to the web...& can't find it anywhere in Dreamweaver (my editor) Thanks again, mark4man "mark4man" wrote in message ... Hello again...

Using Expression Web, if I use Insert - Symbol and insert that character
into a blank page, it generates the following code, which I suspect won't help you much with Dreamweaver: head style type="text/css" ..style1 { font-family: Webdings; } /style /head p class="style1"a/p There probably is another way to get the checkmark (97 webdings), but I'm not into raw HTML, so I don't know how... -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "mark4man" wrote in message ...

No...it doesn't.
I'll check around in the code forums, tho...thanks for tryin'. BTW - I take back everything I said about the new GUI. I changed the color scheme to black; & all of a sudden I could see everything plainly. Now...because of that, I'm suddenly learning all the new locations (for all the various functions)...& I think I actually like it better than the old GUI. mark4man "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Being able to actually see what you're doing can make a big difference, eh?
