How can you make a diamond (or other characters) in Word NOT using WingDing
fonts or bullets? Specifically, a diamond (solid). Thanks!

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can make a diamond (solid) in Word without using WingDing fonts or bullets:

1. Open a new Word document and click on the "Insert" tab.
2. Click on "Shapes" and select the "Diamond" shape from the list.
3. Click and drag your mouse on the document to draw the diamond shape to your desired size.
4. Right-click on the diamond shape and select "Format Shape" from the drop-down menu.
5. In the "Format Shape" pane, select the "Fill" option.
6. Choose the color you want for your diamond from the color palette or select "More Colors" to choose a custom color.
7. Select the "Solid fill" option to fill the diamond with the chosen color.
8. Click "Close" to exit the "Format Shape" pane.

And there you have it! A solid diamond shape in Word without using WingDing fonts or bullets. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

I didn't see a solid diamond in there, but thanks. I am looking for maybe a
code or "Ctrl" "Alt" command??!?? The document I seen it in, when the cursor
is placed over the diamond, it doesn't change the "Arial" font description.

There isn't a solid diamond - you have to fill it in yourself, with the color
you want (fill color)

It's Unicode character 2666. If you open the Symbol dialog from an
insertion point in the Arial font, then "(normal text)" represents Arial,
and this character is included in the Arial font (and other Windows Core
Fonts, such as Times New Roman).

It's a character not a "symbol" and it doesn't use a WingdDing or other font
as per spec.
