Does Word 2003 have arrows etc. ?
Need to use fractions and arrows in a document.
Any chance that they might be available? Thanks to all who might reply, drybones |

Depending on your needs, you may be able to get by with characters from the
Symbol font, as JoAnn suggests, or one of the Wingdings fonts (Wingdings 3 is pretty much all arrows); see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm. For fractions, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm. If you're trying to write equations, you should be using Word's Equation Editor. -- Suzanne S.

G'Day DryBones,
Investigate: FRACTIONS ========== Most fonts include single characters that represent fractions: Symbol Numeric KeyPad Usually available in AutoCorrect ¼ ALT+0188 Type "1/4" followed by SPACE ½ ALT+0189 Type "1/2" followed by SPACE ¾ ALT+0190 Type "3/4" followed by SPACE Word supports other characters, that this News Reader application (Outlook Express) does not support. Those characters represent the fractions: 1/3 Type "2153" followed by ALT+X 2/3 Type "2154" followed by ALT+X 1/8 Type "215B" followed by ALT+X 3/8 Type "215C' followed by ALT+X 5/8 Type "215D" followed by ALT+X 7/8 Type "215E" followed by ALT+X. (You could add these to AutoCorrect yourself). These are the ONLY fractions generally available to Word as characters. To improve on this,see: http://www.gmayor.com/createfraction.htm (also has the VBA code) or http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Format...teFraction.htm for the general method. ARROWS (and more...) ================= Menu: InsertSymbol Look at the following fonts (in particular): Symbol MT Extra Wingdings Wingdings 2 Wingdings 3 Webdings .........(there are others). BULLETS ======= Most of these Symbols are also available as 'bullets'. Menu: FormatBullets and Numbering... -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "drybones" wrote in message ... Need to use fractions and arrows in a document.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CreateFraction.htm for how to tell which ones are in your font and what to do if the ones you want aren't available. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?"

Insert Symbol Some arrows and fractions will be available in your normal text font; for others change the drop-down font selector to Symbol or Wingdings. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?"
