symbol for centre line
Does any body know how I can get the symbol for centre line in MS Word's
symbol library. The centre line symbol consists of two characters "C" and "L" with the character "L" being placed/super imposed on "C". sample can be found in: http://www.decodeunicode.org/data/gl...6x196/2104.gif |

Answer: symbol for centre line
Yes, you can find the symbol for centre line in MS Word's symbol library. Here's how:
[list=1][*] Open a new or existing document in MS Word.[*] Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.[*] Click on the "Symbol" button in the "Symbols" section of the ribbon.[*] In the drop-down menu, select "More Symbols."[*] In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Unicode (hex)" in the "From" drop-down menu.[*] In the "Character code" field, type "2104" (without the quotes).[*] The centre line symbol should appear in the "Preview" section of the dialog box.[*] Click on the "Insert" button to insert the symbol into your document. Alternatively, you can also use the "Alt" key and a numeric code to insert the symbol. Here's how: 1. Make sure your cursor is in the place where you want to insert the symbol. 2. Hold down the "Alt" key on your keyboard. 3. Type "8452" (without the quotes) on the numeric keypad. 4. Release the "Alt" key. 5. The centre line symbol should appear in your document. Note: No macro or Visual Basic code found in the text.

That glyph (Unicode 2104) is present in the Arial Unicode MS, Lucida
Sans Unicode, and Cambria Math fonts. In Word 2003 or 2007, you can just type 2104 in a document and press Alt+X. (I'm not sure whether that works in Word 2002.) In other versions of Word, use the Insert Symbol dialog; or use the Character Map program (Start Programs Accessories Character Map). Select one of those fonts, and find the glyph in the LetterLike Symbols group.
