Answer: Where is the centerline symbol for use in Word?
The centerline symbol is not a standard symbol in Microsoft Word, but you can easily add it to your document using the following steps:
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut "Alt+8214" to insert the centerline symbol. Simply hold down the "Alt" key and type "8214" on the numeric keypad, then release the "Alt" key. The centerline symbol will be inserted at the current cursor position.

I do not know of one, but you can create one by typing
c then hold down the Ctrl Key and press F9 to insert a pair of field delimiters inside of which you type ADVANCE \d 2 \l4 (note that is a lower case L before the 4) and then outside of the closing } type L so that you have c{ ADVANCE \d 2 \l4 }L Hold down the Alt key and press F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes. and you will have something that should resemble what you are looking for. You may want to adjust the font size of the c and L and also play around with the offsets 2 and 4 -- Hope this helps.

If you can tell me what a centerline symbol is supposed to look like,
I can hunt for it in Unicode. The coding makes it sound like a c on the line crossed by an L that goes below the line? But are they supposed to look like letters, or are they supposed to be an arc and two lines?

It is pretty much what that field construction creates, a small c
intersected by the vertical part of an L. Actually Googling for it, turns up http://www.fileformat.info/info/unic...ontsupport.htm So typing 2104 and then pressing Alt+x will insert it for you. -- Hope this helps.

It looks like the Centre Line Symbol that is shown when you are using
certain unicode fonts and you select InsertSymbolFont(normal text) SubSet(Letterlike Symbols). On Dec 30, 10:45*pm, "Peter T.
