Insert symbol - choices are limited and scrolling has disappeared
Last time I inserted a symbol the box which contains the symbols had a large
range that I could scroll through to choose the one I wanted. Then when I had inserted one, that one stayed in a 'recently used' short menu within the symbol window. Today I go to the symbol window and I have a tiny range, no scrollbar and no recently used short menu. Can anyone tell me what might be going on??? |

The limited range would indicate you're looking at a font that contains only
the standard ANSI character set. See if the box in the bottom right-hand corner says "Symbol (decimal)" or "ASCII (decimal)." But I can't account for loss of the MRU panel. Note that the Symbol dialog can be resized, but I don't think it's possible to resize it so small that you would eliminate the MRU panel. Assuming you're using a version earlier than Word 2007, are you opening the dialog using Insert | Symbol? If you're using Word 2007, the display you get from the Symbol button on the Insert tab *is* the MRU list; you have to click on More Symbols... to get the dialog. -- Suzanne S.
