Answer: where can I find the symbol for the word "therefore"?
Hi there! I'd be happy to help you find the "therefore" symbol in Microsoft Word.
Here are the steps to insert the "therefore" symbol:
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut to insert the "therefore" symbol. Here's how: 1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the symbol. 2. Press and hold the "Alt" key on your keyboard. 3. While holding down the "Alt" key, type "8756" on the numeric keypad (make sure "Num Lock" is on). 4. Release the "Alt" key and the "therefore" symbol should appear in your document.

Here's where I found it:
1. On the Insert tab, click on "Symbol" on the far right. 2. Click on More Symbols 3. In the Font dropdown box in the upper left, choose "Symbol." 4. The Therefore symbol is on the second row near the middle.

Using "Insert Symbol" dialog you cand find it in the Font named "Symbol"
with character 92. You can insert in your document using that dialog. You can also select the symbol font then hold down ALT and type 0092 with the numeric keypad or you cna insert it with a macro: Sub InsertThereforeSymbol() Selection.InsertSymbol Font:="Symbol", CharacterNumber:=92 End Sub For help running macros see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Wombling63 wrote: There is a symbol made up of three dots in the shape of a triangle meaning "therefore".

Using the Symbol font can lead to problems down the line (its encoding
doesn't match Unicode encoding), so you might do better to use the character from the "Mathematical Operators" range accessed via Insert Symbol. The "Therefore" character is at 2234; type that code on the regular keyboard and then Alt-X. You'll find it in Cambria Math, Arial Unicode, Lucida Sans, and Lucida Sans Unicode.

Mr. Daniels,
Excellent post and very helpful. Perfect delivery. BZ When I simply type 2234 and press ALT+x (without first selecting a font) the symbol appears in MS Mincho. My default font is Times New Roman. Is MS Mincho something new and still suitable with this symbol? You can insert Unicode symbols programmatically as well. In this case you can could use: Sub InsertThereforeSymbol() Selection.InsertSymbol Font:="Arial Unicode", CharacterNumber:=8756, Unicode:=True End Sub Note the different number (8756). The InsertSymbol method requires a Long value. Accordingly the unicode hex number 2234 must be converted: Sub GetLong() MsgBox ConvertHexToLong(2234) End Sub Function ConvertHexToLong(ByVal hex) As Long ConvertHexToLong = Val("&H" & hex & "&") End Function Thanks. -- Greg Maxey See my web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org for an eclectic collection of Word Tips.

MS Mincho is the factory-default font for Chinese etc.; all the
Chinese etc. fonts seem to have a lot of the "Mathematical Operators." (Check with BabelMap.) TNR, annoyingly, doesn't have most math characters -- especially annoying when you need true super/ subscripts! If you're never going to type in Chinese etc., you can Uninstall the Chinese etc. fonts from your Fonts folder. I don't know what a "Long" value is. Is it the decimal equivalent of the Unicode hex number? On Oct 29, 7:15*am, "Greg Maxey" wrote: Mr. Daniels, Excellent post and very helpful. *Perfect delivery.

Thanks.
Long value was probably a poor choice of words. As I have said before, I have no formal training in VBA. Perhaps more correct, the .InsertSymbol method requires a long data type for the character number argument. Data type: The characteristic of a variable that determines what kind of data it can hold. Data types include Byte, Boolean, Integer, Long, Currency, Decimal, Single, Double, Date, String, Object, Variant (default), and user-defined types, as well as specific types of objects. Long: Long (long integer) variables are stored as signed 32-bit (4-byte) numbers ranging in value from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. Is it the decimal equivalent of the Unicode hex number? I think basically yes. If you pass "A" as an argument to the function returns 10. If you pass "1A" is returns 26, ect. Sub GetLong() MsgBox ConvertHexToLong("A") End Sub Function ConvertHexToLong(ByVal hex) As Long ConvertHexToLong = Val("&H" & hex & "&") End Function The only reason I mention this VBA method is there has been a two people that have asked me to add their frequently used symbols to a customized ribbon gallery. -- Greg Maxey See my web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org for an eclectic collection of Word Tips.
