How to insert musical symbols?
Use a font that contains the symbols. If you don't have one, search the web
for one to purchase. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Grandlife B" Grandlife wrote in message ... How do I insert musical symbols using Word 2003? |

How to insert musical symbols?
My copy of Word 2000 came with a font called Helsinki Metronome, which seems
to be musical symbols but which I can't make appear on the screen, and another called Reprise Text - also musical notes and symbols, but this one works. I'm not sure I'd want the hassle of trying to put together even a short length of actual music, though; I imagine that there are dedicated add-ons for that. Bert |

That font was never offered with Word regardless of version. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Bert Coules" wrote in message ...

Neither. Nor were they offered with Windows XP or any other Microsoft
offering. Many programs come with fonts, even some printers. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Bert Coules" wrote in message ...

No clue. Never heard of that font nor have I ever needed a musical note
font. (I sing fine in my car, my shower, and my mind - that's the extent of my musical talent.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Bert Coules" wrote in message ...

If that was directed at me, then yes, I believe it is: the solution to the puzzle seems to be that not every key on the keyboard produces a result: some (the ones I tried, obviously) are blank. Others do indeed produce musical notes and other symbols. Whether this will be of any use to Grandlife B, I don't know, but it might at least be a start. Bert |

I can honestly say that although I am a fontaholic, there are no fonts
installed in my car, my shower, or my mind. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "gordo" wrote in message ... Is the font installed?
