And then what? I gave an incorrect answer to this question
earlier--confusing the Common Symbols category in the Customize Keyboard
dialog with the functions of the Customize dialog, but it would appear that
although you can assign keyboard shortcuts to these symbols quite easily,
there's no straightforward way to assign them to a menu or toolbar.

Hi Suzanne,

Ah, I see what you're getting at - I made the same mistake. In that case, the OP would probably need to create a macro for the
symbol insertion and create a toolbar button for each symbol.

I think that was the gist of the original response to this question: a
macro, which just seemed so over-the-top to me, but I agree it seems to be
the only way. Of course, since I use keyboard shortcuts for all these
symbols, it wouldn't occur to me to try to put them on a toolbar.
