How do I find the "plus or minus" sign?
I need the mathematical "plus or minus" sign, i.e. a plus sign over a minus
sign. Is there a trick or a symbol I have missed? |

You can hold down the Alt key while you type 0177 on the number pad (with
NumLock turned on). Or you can use the Insert Symbol dialog, where you'll find it about 20 characters past the lower case z. If you use it a lot, you can assign a shortcut key combination to it. For general info on inserting symbols, see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. dita@ut wrote: I need the mathematical "plus or minus" sign, i.e. a plus sign over a minus sign.

How to Insert Plus or Minus Sign in Microsoft Word
1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the plus or minus sign.
Alternatively, you can also use the keyboard shortcut "Alt" + "0177" to insert the plus or minus sign. Simply hold down the "Alt" key and type "0177" on the numeric keypad (not the numbers above the letters on your keyboard).
