Need Symbol to Indicate a Space in a Computer Address String
When typing a string e.g. rm(space)fn, eg. where can I find the symbol
indicating a space that looks like a greater than sign "" turned on it's open end and placed at the bottom of the line? |

Are you talking about something like this? ^ This character is above the
6 on my keyboard. "Bob" wrote in message ... When typing a string e.g. rm(space)fn, eg. where can I find the symbol indicating a space that looks like a greater than sign "" turned on it's open end and placed at the bottom of the line? |

Thanks for taking the time to reply Barb, but no, I'm looking for that
symbol, however, want to insert it at the bottom of the line the way you would if you were handwriting a string.

Underline characters are often used in place of spaces, but that doesn't
sound like what you're describing. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you Suzanne for your response. No, not exactly what I'm after. I want
the insert carat that is on the bottom of the line specifically like when you handwrite a string or edit a document. It must exist somewhere, but have been unable to locate it. Thanks again ...

Goto Insert/symbol and you will find it there.

Hi Bob, In the Insert Symbol dialog, set the font to Lucida Sans Unicode. In the lower right, make sure the "from" dropdown is set to "Unicode (hex)", and enter 2227 in the "character code" box. The character is usually used as the logical AND symbol, but I think it's what you're looking for. You can click the Shortcut button in that dialog to assign a keyboard shortcut to the symbol. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Tue, 8 Feb 2005 04:09:04 -0800, Bob wrote: Thank you Suzanne for your response.

Are you talking about the caret used in copyediting/proofreading to indicate
an insertion? For that purpose I suppose you could use the Shift+6 ^ character and just lower it (Format | Font | Character Spacing). Or use character 2038 in Arial Unicode MS, which is a dropped caret. -- Suzanne S.

EXCELLENT! Just what I was looking for! Thanks a bunch Suzanne.
Incidentally, I'm practically a neighbor. Live in Biloxi and work at NASA. Thanks again... "Suzanne S.

If the Arial Unicode MS character is "just what you were looking for," just
use it with caution, keeping in mind that Arial Unicode MS is not installed by default on all systems (though available to all Windows users). You might need to embed the font, specifying just the characters in use. -- Suzanne S.
