The Symbol font (one of the core Windows fonts) includes the standard Greek
alphabet, at least the common letters used in mathematics, in the order that
corresponds to the English alphabet (a = alpha, b = beta, etc.).

Most common Unicode fonts, such as Arial, include a larger selection of Greek
characters, including ones with accents. But because they're in a section of the
font outside the normal keyboard characters, they're harder to use. Seehttp://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htmfor help with this.

The best solution is to get an actual Greek font. Look athttp://www.google..de/search?q=greek+font+download&hl=enfor a selection of sites
that offer such fonts.

Symbol cannot be used for typing Greek, because it does not include
the final-sigma letter, and it does not include even the one accent-
mark used in Modern Greek.

If you have Arial and Tahoma and Times Roman, you don't need to get
any special fonts, but you need to activate the Greek IME and keyboard
in order to get at the Greek characters without typing your entire
file in the Insert Symbol tool.

To do that in Windows XP, go to Start Control Panel Regional and
Language Options Language Details Add and choose Greek from the
dropdown list. then choose whichever keyboard you're used to. If
you're typing Classical Greek, you have to pick Polytonic Greek to get
all the accents.

Ok your way out, and you'll find you have a "Language Bar" down in
your status bar -- probably a little square that says EN. Click on
that and change it to EL Greek. You can also toggle between the
languages there by typing Alt-Shift.

To see the keyboard for typing Greek, go to Start All Programs
Accessories Accessibility On-Screen Keyboard. While you're in the
document where you want to type Greek, choose EL Greek as your input
language, and then when you move your cursor over the on-screen
keyboard, it changes to Greek. The accent for Modern Greek is on the Q
key. If you need all the Classical accents, it's a little more
complicated and you'll want the documentation from Microsoft's website.
