Hold Alt while you type 0177 on the Numeric Keypad.

When you've selected it in Insert Symbol, note that at the bottom
there's a "Shortcut" button. Click that, assign whatver key sequence to it that you want, click Assign and Close, and then you can type it directly.

Create an autocorrect entry. Type in the character ALT+0177 then create an
autotext entry to replace (say) +- with ± -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CCBSG wrote: Hi, does anyone know if there is a hot key combination for ±. i need to key in a lot of this symbol and felt tired using insert... symbols... many times. thank you!

That should have read "create an autocorrect entry to replace (say) +- with
±"  (-- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Graham Mayor wrote: Create an autocorrect entry.
