Using word v. 2000 I have need to insert "GDT" (Geometeric Dimensioning &
Tolerancing" symbols into my reports. The font is in the character map (amgdt
or gdt) but does not appear in the list under "insert symbol".
How might I make the font appear in the insert symbol list so that I can
assign a keyboard shortcut key to the symbols that I want to use?
Someone suggested copying the symbol(s) into the autocorrect feature, but
this doesn't seem to work as expected. The symbol comes in as the alpha
character that represents the symbol. I must then click on the "undo" button
in order to change the alpha character to the symbol.
Please advise. this is driving me crazy (and it is not a very long drive
