x bar, y bar, etc.
How can characters like x bar (i.e., an "x" with a "-" over the top) be typed
in WORD? Such figures are commonly used to represent averages, etc., and I frequently need them in my work. WORD, of course, handles underline, strike-through, and italics, but not this. |

Insert a field --
{ eq \o(x,) } Use Ctrl-F9 to create the field, not the curly brackets on the keyboard. Change the x to y (or whatever) as needed. The overscore character is Alt-0175 or use Insert Symbol Normal text. Having created this field once, you can make it an autotext entry if you use it a lot. "jackofarabia" wrote in message ...

Answer: x bar, y bar, etc.
To type characters like x bar (also known as x̄), you can use the Equation feature in Microsoft Word. Here's how:
You can also use this method to type other characters with accents or other diacritical marks, such as ā, ê, or ñ. Just select the appropriate accent from the Accent menu and type the letter you want to modify. I hope this helps you with your work!
