Increase productivity when inserting equations
When typing out equations, I regular use greek symbols like lambda, rho etc...
Why isn't their an "insert symbol" button on the "equation tools" design toolbar? It would save having to flick between "Insert" and equation toolbar. I know we can customise toolbars but this ought to be there by default. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Increase productivity when inserting equations
You'll find symbols in the Symbols group of the Equation Tools Design tab. Click the arrow at the bottom of the Symbols group to
expand symbols. By default, you'll see the Basic Math symbols, but you can click the label to get other categories. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Robo" wrote in message ...

Increase productivity when inserting equations
It's already there, if a bit hidden. (This is in Word 2007, by the way, in
case the reference to "equation tools" isn't obvious enough.) On the Equation Tools tab of the ribbon, at the right end of the Symbols group there are three triangular "arrows": up, down, and down with a line over it. Click the down arrow with the line over it. At the top of the expanded gallery it says "Basic Math" followed by a triangle. Click that to open a menu, and choose "Greek Letters". Now the Symbols group shows all the Greek letters. The up and down arrows at the right end will scroll the rows, or you can click the down arrow with line to open the full gallery. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
