If your printer is not natively capable of printing these symbols, look in
the printer Properties (to gain access to these advanced settings, you may need to access the Properties through the Printers folder and not from Word's Print dialog) and see if you can find a setting to print TrueType as graphics (or similar wording). This will force the printer to print what is displayed on the screen. -- Suzanne S.

My printer has no problem with printing the symbols. I
would just like to print on a page all the symbols together to see what each look like on paper. I'm interested in the ones in the symbol window of Word because they seem more complete than the symbols displayed in the corresponding font sets in Window's control panel such as Monotype sorts or Webdings. -----Original Message----- If your printer is not natively capable of printing these symbols, look in the printer Properties (to gain access to these advanced settings, you may need to access the Properties through the Printers folder and not from Word's Print dialog) and see if you can find a setting to print TrueType as graphics (or similar wording).

It's fairly easy to print a reference sheet of a standard symbol font,
because they contain only glyphs 32-255 (more on that in a moment). For the larger Unicode fonts, you could print out samples, but they would be many pages long, and it would be a much more involved process. Unless you're interested in a specific font, you can get samples of various code ranges (character subsets) from http://www.unicode.org/charts/ 1. To create a symbol reference sheet, insert a table with 14 columns and 32 rows. 2. In the odd-numbered columns, type the numbers from 32 to 255 (that is, 32-63 in column 1, 64-95 in column 3, etc.). 3. Select the even-numbered columns and apply the desired font (Wingdings, for example). 4. In these columns, insert the corresponding character for each number by pressing, for example, Alt+0032 (on the numeric keypad). 32 is a space, so you won't see anything, but for 33 and the rest, you should see characters. This is very tedious for the first font you do, but you can then create a similar chart for any other symbol font by just changing the font of the even-numbered columns. -- Suzanne S.
