The following field shows another way of producing a diacritic over any
character, and can thus be used for consonants (used for some mathematical symbols): {EQ \s\up6(\f(,A))} Replace the 'A' in the field with the desired character. You can also vary the overstrike line's height by changing the '6'. This approach has the advantage of not automatically forcing an increase in the line height for the affected line. Cheers PS: You must create the field braces '{ }' via Ctrl-F9 - simply pasting them in or typing them won't work. "wolfie" wrote in message ... How do I type a repeating decimal mark.

Typing a repeating decimal in Word - needs overstrike
Hi -
Is there any way to get a diagonal instead of a diacritical in this? I need a 0 with a slash through it!! Thanks! -- Pat Anderson Trainer/HelpDesk Specialist Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P.
