Actually, these symbols are available in Times New Roman as well (though
possibly nicer-looking in Arial Unicode MS). And to get the v on top, you could use the Combining Caron from the Combining Diacritics subset of Arial Unicode MS (glyph 030C) or glyph 02C5 or 02C7, for which you will require an EQ \o field (for more info, see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Overbar.htm). -- Suzanne S.

For the female symbol, type 2640 and press Alt+X. For the male symbol, use 2642 and Alt+X. You can assign easier shortcut keys to them as follows: Open the Insert Symbol dialog. Select either Arial Unicode MS or Lucida Sans Unicode in the font box. If you don't see the Subset dropdown on the right, set the "from" box at the lower right to "Unicode (hex)". In the Subset box, scroll down and select "Miscellaneous Dingbats". Find the female and male symbols in the main part of the dialog. Select one and click the Shortcut Key button. Press the shortcut key combination you want to use, click the Assign button, and click Close. Then set the shortcut for the other symbol. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
