Even Times New Roman and Courier new include the minus sign, however.

It needs to be installed on your PC, then you can select it in Word. I
reckon that at least one such font comes with Office 2002 or 2003
(Lucida Sans Unicode, Arial Unicode, some such stuff).

Ahh, http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/font...idasansunicode claims
that's is even been part of Windows 2000 and XP.

Times New Roman has - and + sign's horizontal lines are on different levels
(-+). On my picture they are on the same level.

No, at least not if you insert the real "Minus" sign as indicated
earlier in this thread: If you insert an ordinary dash/hyphen, that's on
a different level with the "+", but not the real character in Times New
Roman.

On an English Word installation, type 2212 and then Alt-X.

Don't bother with replying it does not work without indicating which
version of Word you're using! :-)
