how can i get apothecary symbols in Word 2007
From http://www.lib.umich.edu/tcp/docs/dox/medical.html:
The "ounce" symbol. This is Unicode character 2125, but has no ISO character entity. Capture as &ounce;. The "dra(ch)m" symbol. This is a specific application of Unicode character 0292 (yogh), but has no ISO character entity. Capture as &dram; when the medicinal context makes it clear that is what it is. The "scruple" symbol. This is Unicode character 2108, but has no ISO character entity. Capture as &scruple;. The "recipe" or "Rx" symbol. This is Unicode character 211E and character entity ℞ in the ISOpub set. Capture as ℞. (I haven't checked this data out. I also found a reference to Lucida Sans Unicode font having the symbols you need.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Kcd21" wrote in message news I want apothecary symbols in Word 2007.

That sounds like typing (or "capture") instructions for some specific
application ("ISO character entity" is irrelevant to Word). Kcd21 should simply either type the given Unicode 4-digit sequences followed by Alt-x, or (if they're using them regularly) should access them in Insert Symbol and assign some convenient keyboard shortcut to them.
