How to type the legal squiggle § that means "section"
I have been puzzled by this for a while. If you need to make the legal
squiggle that means section, the standard keyboard down't have it yet I see it all the time from law offices. I'm running Word 2003 from MOS 2003 and Win XP Pro SP2 on this box. The Squiggle I'm referring to is talked about here in this thread: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=457182 This is what it looks like from a paste: § Since I don't have the key, can I add the legal squiggle somewhere? Can I get it from some Font store in XP--I don't remember seeing it there. If I type "control fonts" in the run box, I don't see it in the list of Fonts from the CPL folder. BTW I find the Pleadings Wizard that MSFT provides so rigid and unflexible I don't use it. More time and trouble than it's worth. I have no idea what law offices do, and maybe someone familiar with this will tell me. I will also try to look in the *Payne Word For Law Firms* book, and see if there is a clue there.

Chad,
You can apply it with Insert Symbol or the keyboard shortcut ALT+0167 using the NUMLOCK key and the num keypad. |

Run charmap.exe you can copy to clipboard and paste in any office document.

Greg and Ace_It--
Thanks so much for this information. I wonder if there are links for reference that have more run commands that work in Word and Office and also more keyboard shortcuts that produce symbols. I really appreciate this info that I hadn't picked up before. Chad Harris _______________________ "ace_it" wrote in message ...

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm for a number of
different ways of inserting this and other special characters. Although there is no built-in keyboard shortcut for this symbol, you can easily add one. Or you can just remember 00A7, Alt+X. -- Suzanne S.

Suzzne--as always thanks very much and thanks for the link. I understand
what you mean about making a key (adding the ability) able to type that symbol also. At least I think that's what you mean. How do I designate a key to do that though?

Insert | Symbol. Select the section symbol and click the Shortcut Key...
button, then enter the desired keyboard shortcut and click Assign and Close. You'll see the shortcut you selected on the Special Characters tab of Insert | Symbol. -- Suzanne S.
