That's where they can be inserted from so my question is if you select basic
Greek from the dropdown in symbols can't you see it there? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "eaterofcheese" wrote in message ...

letters, as an option.

The Greek alphabet is there. Enter a lower case a and select the symbol font
and you will see an alpha. The fonts symbol, webdings, wingdings, windings2 and wingdings 3 have lots of neat stuff in them. -- Gary's Student "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: What options do you have if you click insertsymbol and in the subset click the dropdown? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom (No private emails please) "eaterofcheese" wrote in message ...

I have tried using insert then symbol yet cannot locate what I want. Select where you wish to insert the symbol. Then: Insert/Symbol Select a font that has the extended Unicode characters. Try your default font first, but the Arial fonts have them, as do many others. In the lower right hand corner, in the **from:** dialog box, select Unicode(hex). In the character code box, enter 3B8. That should bring up the lower case theta if it is present in your selected font. Then Insert. --ron |
