How do I insert musical symbols using Word 2003?

[JoAnn Paules]

Use a font that contains the symbols. If you don't have one, search the web
for one to purchase.

My copy of Word 2000 came with a font called Helsinki Metronome, which seems
to be musical symbols but which I can't make appear on the screen, and
another called Reprise Text - also musical notes and symbols, but this one
works.

I'm not sure I'd want the hassle of trying to put together even a short
length of actual music, though; I imagine that there are dedicated add-ons
for that.

That font was never offered with Word regardless of version.

Which font? I mentioned two. I must have got them from somewhere and
certainly didn't deliberately obtain them myself; perhaps they were simply
part of Windows XP.

Neither. Nor were they offered with Windows XP or any other Microsoft
offering.

Many programs come with fonts, even some printers.
