Thumbs up Answer: How do I insert a 'therefore' abbreviation in a word document

To insert the 'therefore' abbreviation in a Word document, you can follow these steps:
  1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the abbreviation.
  2. Type the letters "th".
  3. Press the "Ctrl" and ";" keys simultaneously. This will insert the "therefore" symbol (which looks like a small, tilted square) and automatically convert it to the "therefore" abbreviation.
  4. Continue typing your document.

Alternatively, you can also insert the "therefore" abbreviation by using the "Symbol" feature in Word. Here's how:
  1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the abbreviation.
  2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu.
  3. Click on the "Symbol" button in the "Symbols" section.
  4. Select "More Symbols" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  5. In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Mathematical Operators" from the "Subset" drop-down menu.
  6. Scroll down until you find the "therefore" symbol (it should be near the bottom).
  7. Double-click on the symbol to insert it into your document.
  8. Highlight the symbol and click on the "AutoCorrect" button in the "Symbol" dialog box.
  9. In the "AutoCorrect" dialog box, type "th" in the "Replace" field and click "Add".
  10. Click "OK" to close the "AutoCorrect" dialog box.
  11. Click "Close" to close the "Symbol" dialog box.
  12. Continue typing your document.

Press and hold Alt, type 8756 on the numeric keypad, release Alt.

You will need to use a font which contains the character, of course - Arial
Unicode MS, for example.

Tony -

Is there a handy-dandy list of these extended (is this the correct term)
characters? I'm not sure what to Google for.

Hi JoAnn,

Not really. There's probably more than you want to know at www.unicode.org
but there are so many symbols and so many different terms that I just google
for them when I need them. "Therefore" is an awkward term to google for but
"unicode "therefore symbol"" brought it straight up - in fact as it's easier
to google than to ask a question here I wonder why so many people fail to do
it.

Do you think there's any merit in trying to draw up a list of symbols in
common use in English? Or would it just be too long and still inadequate?
Would it be possible to search here to find out what people have asked for
and gather them all together? I suppose the Symbol font has many of them
(including therefore) but I prefer not to use that as it makes for difficult
VBA (and Find and Replace).

Enjoy,
Tony
