Default Long Division symbol in Equation Editor 2007?

Hi Karen,

To add to Graham's reply. The symbol he referred to is the Division symbol, which you can type into an equation as \div . The
\longdiv function doesn't appear to be implemented in the Word 2007 Equation Tool (it's not in the Unicode character position of
27CC in that font). While it is available in other fonts such as Code2000, the new Equation Tool seems to have some trouble
displaying it from that font. It may be possible to build an equation so that it resembles the Long Division 'stretchy' symbol over
your equation.

If I recall correctly the version of Unicode that Word supports may be older than the one that incorporates the 27CC character.

It is available in the older Microsoft Equation Editor
(Insert=Object=Microsoft Equation 3.0
in the 'Fraction and Radical templates' choice on the toolbar for that equation editor, where it appears to be built, at least in
part from autoshapes (or at least converts to them). I'm assuming that the replacement product for that editor http://mathtype.com
would have better support for that glyph.
