Word Field Code Symbol
I created a bookmark for a field code and I am currently sending one symbol
to that bookmark, {SYMBOL \u 1092}. How can I modify {SYMBOL \u 1092} to add a second symbol 1093? |

Just asking: does " \u " introduce a Unicode coding? 1092 and 1093 are
part of the Myanmar (Burmese) range and are "reserved" and should not be used for anything else. What is the purpose of your bookmark?

The "\u" is for unicode, the 1092 and 1093 are just an example. My symbols
would be 1053, 1050, 1055 and 1056 all to be used if possible in one bookmark. The bookmark is used when my external program writes data to the document. "Peter T.

I don't understand what you're trying to do, but why can't you simply
type the four Burmese letters? On Dec 30, 1:23*pm, JoeV wrote: The "\u" is for unicode, the 1092 and 1093 are just an example.

If you could explain why you're "sending symbols to a bookmark," maybe
someone could come up with a way to do what you want to do. On Dec 31, 7:06*am, JoeV wrote: Peter and Doug thanks for your help but can anybody else answer my question.

Word Field Code Symbol
I have a Russian document that has generic information. I have program that I
created that will write to the Russian document with specific information in Russian for each instrument that we are testing and the information needs to go in its each specific location within the document. The software package that I am using does not support the entire unicode format. It so happens the Russian characters that I need are out of the range of my software package, there 16 bit instead of 8 bit. The bookmark is to define the specific location for each piece of information and the field code is to send the decimal value of each Russian letter. "Peter T.

Word Field Code Symbol
The Help topic for the SYMBOL field says that it "Inserts a single character
or a string of characters in the ANSI character set." Although no examples are given, I would suggest that you try specifying more than one, the numbers separated by a comma (or semicolon if a comma is used as the decimal point), and see what happens. -- Suzanne S.

Unfortunately, the Help topic seems to be one of those that were
written as "here's how it's supposed to work" rather than how it really works. Including two or more numbers, separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons, results in display of the single character corresponding to the first number. Oddly, surrounding the list of numbers with parentheses as you would do in some other field codes results in the display ###.

Word Field Code Symbol
Inserting a SYMBOL field is only one way to insert a symbol. If you can
insert a string, it may be useful to know that you can insert "wide" characters in the string using CharW, e.g. mystring = charw(1092) & charw(1093) If you can show the code as Doug suggested, it might be easier for people to suggest a way to do that. However, without a copy of the font(s) you are using it would probably be difficult for anyone to predict the result of inserting a string containing "wide" characters.

Once again thanks for you help. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Unfortunately, the Help topic seems to be one of those that were written as "here's how it's supposed to work" rather than how it really works. Including two or more numbers, separated by spaces, commas, or semicolons, results in display of the single character corresponding to the first number. Oddly, surrounding the list of numbers with parentheses as you would do in some other field codes results in the display ###. I think the only way to accomplish this is to insert a separate Symbol field for each character. -- 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.

Although no examples are given, I would suggest that you try specifying more than one, the numbers separated by a comma (or semicolon if a comma is used as the decimal point), and see what happens. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org wrote in message ... I have a Russian document that has generic information. I have program that I created that will write to the Russian document with specific information in Russian for each instrument that we are testing and the information needs to go in its each specific location within the document. The software package that I am using does not support the entire unicode format. It so happens the Russian characters that I need are out of the range of my software package, there 16 bit instead of 8 bit. The bookmark is to define the specific location for each piece of information and the field code is to send the decimal value of each Russian letter. "Peter T.
