Thanks, Jay, for reminding me (after I used Insert | Symbol to insert this
symbol half a dozen times the other day) that I have assigned a keyboard shortcut for this! I find that Ctrl+:, - works very well. (That is, I use Ctrl+colon as a setup key, the same way it is used for umlauted vowels, then press hyphen.) -- Suzanne S.

If there is anyone who knows, please respond as quickly as possible. THANKS If you mean the ÷ symbol, it's standard in all "regular" fonts such as Arial and Times New Roman. You can insert it manually by holding the Alt key while pressing 0247 on the number pad. Alternatively you can open the Insert Symbol dialog, set the Font box to "(normal text)" and set the "from" box in the lower right to "ASCII (decimal)", and type 247 in the "Character code" box. Then you can click the Insert button. If you use this symbol often, click the AutoCorrect button and enter some short sequence (for example, -: ) that Word will automatically replace with the ÷ character. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
