You can either use InsertSymbol which will show you the key combination to
type for each, or they can be inserted by holding down the Alt key and then typing the appropriate sequence of numeric keys on the numeric keypad. If you run the following macro, it will create a table showing you what keys insert what: ' Macro created 12-08-98 by Doug Robbins to list symbols that can be inserted via Alt+keypad ' ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1, NumColumns:=3 Selection.TypeText Text:="Alt + Numeric Keypad" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.TypeText Text:="Normal Font" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Selection.TypeText Text:="Symbol Font" Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Symbol = 33 While Symbol 256 Selection.TypeText Text:="0" & LTrim$(Str$(Symbol)) Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell With Selection .InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Normal", Unicode:=False End With Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell With Selection .InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Symbol", Unicode:=False End With Symbol = Symbol + 1 Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell Wend End Sub -- Hope this helps.

You may find what you need in this reference:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm. I know that you can switch to a variety of other "keyboards" for vairous languages, but I don't know if Greek is one of them. Even if you can it may be a challenge to remember what character/symbol goes with which key on the actual keyboard you are using--unless you figure out a way to get a keyboard that would probably be used with PCs in that country.

If your sig. suggests that (like me) you live in Paphos, then the simplest
answer is to pop along to (say) Runstop and buy a Greek / English keyboard for a few pounds. This will have both key layouts printed on the key caps and you can use Windows regional settings to switch between them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Julie Paphos wrote: I am using an English keyboard with Greek set up as second language.
