Hi Eric,

If you're looking to add either the Square Root/ Radical symbol, or a Square Root equation structure within a Word 2007 equation
object you can do it in several ways.

If you add a blank equation to your document via:
Alt=
or
double Click on the 'Equation' button under Insert=Equation
or
Insert=Equation=Insert New Equation

You can use then the 'Radicals' button on
Equation Tools=Design=Structures
to Insert an empty Square Root structure

or, under
Equation Tools=Design=Symbols
scroll to 'Basic Math'
and choose just the Radical symbol

or, you can use the Math Autocorrect shorthand of typing in your equation
\sqrt
followed by a space or punctuation.

news I can't find the square root sign in the symbol section. I see it in the
equation section as part of the quadratic equation but I don't know how to
add the symbol to my own equation.
