I'm not sure I know what you mean by combine. You could make it an autotext
entry by typing it, selecting it, and the click on INSERT in the menu, select AUTOTEXT and then select NEW ENTRY. Give the symbol a name like s1 (for symbol 1). To insert it, enter the name of the symbol set and press F3. -- Kevin Backmann "Dinah32" wrote: I want to combine two symbols, in this instance it would be "" and "/" but as I'm asking I'd like to know how to combine any two symbols. |

One way is to insert an { EQ \o(,/)} field.

Use an equation field with the overstrike option. For your example, click
Ctrl+F9, which will being up the field code braces. Inside the braces type Eq \o (,/). When done, right-click and toggle the field codes. For more on the Equation field with options, switches, etc. do a search in Word using Equation field code. After you have created your combined symbol, you can save it as an AutoText entry.

Thank you, I found this to be most helpful. Now I have another problem. I'm
trying to get this symbol I created into PowerPoint and it won't copy in. Do you know of anyother way to do this?? "SVC" wrote: Use an equation field with the overstrike option.

Have you considered using character 226F from Arial Unicode MS?

Yes, but I don't have 226F available on Word. I'm trying to add the symbol I
created to PowerPoint and need the steps to do that. Copying and pasting doesn't work. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Did you see my reply? -- Suzanne S.

You will need to install the Arial Unicode MS font if it is not already
installed, then select that font in the Insert | Symbol dialog. -- Suzanne S.
