I would like to know where in MS Word is an actual 'Pi' symbol that I can
insert into my document. I chose- Insert menu, then symbol, then
mathematical character which gives me a 'Pi' type of symbol but it is not
the actual 'real deal'. It is not small and and it does not have a wavy line
on the top. Please help as this has been a problem since the beginning.

Thank you for your help!!

If you click INSERT on the Word menu, select SYMBOL and click the symbols
tab. Change the font to Baskerville Old Face, and change the subset to Basic
Greek. The 14th character, going from right to left on the first row is a
realistic looking pi symbol

You can find lowercase Greek pi at 03C0 in most Unicode fonts. See

? (pi) is a font character from the Greek language set. It's appearance has
nothing to do with Word, but with the font that you are currently using.
