R Thanks James, that is the symbol I want; a bar over the
R variable symbol. How can I insert that symbol?

Try this! It works.

Excel Overline

Before you type the character for which you want the overbar,
change the font to Symbol. To create the bar, type the `
character (accent grave, may be above the Tab key) Then, stay
in Symbol font, or switch to a different font, and type the
character that has the overbar.

Comments by me.



Be warned, it does not appear to work until you give enter. In
other words, for example, `x will appear in the Formula Bar and
overline xi in the cell until ENTER is pressed.
