No symbol option
I'm using Word 2003, and I don't have the Symbol option under Insert. What do
I do to make that option available? |

You probably accidentally removed it (Ctrl+Alt+Dash activates a Remove Menu
feature so that the next item you click is removed; people often accidentally do this when searching for a dash variation... then accidentally remove the very next command they click on). To restore it, choose Tools - Customize - Toolbars tab. In the list of Toolbars:, click on the one named Menu Bar so that it is selected. Then click on Reset. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "R_Wade" wrote in message ...

Reset can be dangerous if your toolbars/menus are customized. It is
preferable to add the command back as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...oreMenuCmd.htm -- Suzanne S.

You're right, of course. But, when this kind of issue comes up, I usually
assume that the user has not deliberately customized... otherwise, they would probably already be familiar with how to get the lost item back. :-) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

I expect you're right, though I find that the "lost symbol" issue is a
special case because even fairly sophisticate users usually have no clue how it happened. They use a shortcut to (they think) insert a symbol, and bam! the menu item is gone (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/LostSymbol.htm). -- Suzanne S.
