7 or Z symbol
I am looking for the character 7 that has a line through it (differentiate it
from a 1) and also a Z with a horizontal line through it. Anyone know where I can get these symbols? Thanks. |

You can create them easily enough. See:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Banner_Text.htm After you create the symbols you can save them as AutoText.

Linda,
What part don't you get? Where you able to use the EQ field to overstrike a character 7 or character Z with a dash?

7 or Z symbol
Suzanne,
I concede that your article is very good, but I really don't see how my explaination of overstriking one character with another could be more direct. If you have suggestions for improvement then I would like to hear them. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. Suzanne S.

7 or Z symbol
After looking at both, I concede that neither one addresses the OP's needs
very efficiently. Neither of us gets around to mentioning "other uses" for the EQ \o field until quite late in the article (and of course neither of us mentions a hyphen specifically, though my slashed zero might be a bit closer than your centerline composition). Most of both articles is devoted to ways to box text or put lines around it in various ways, though I had remembered mine as getting to other apps a bit quicker. Perhaps what is needed is an article that more directly addresses the idea of overstruck characters, with a variety of examples. It occurs to me belatedly that an even simpler application for a struckthrough 7 or Z would be just to use Strikethrough formatting, though none of these workarounds is a good substitute for using a font that contains characters designed this way. -- Suzanne S.

hi. what you can do to create a "European 7" is use the standard 7, and then
use the 'strikethrough' effect in the font "LindaC" wrote: I am looking for the character 7 that has a line through it (differentiate it from a 1) and also a Z with a horizontal line through it. Anyone know where I can get these symbols? Thanks. |
