Mathematics: How to display numbers/characters with a line over th
Microsoft Excel 2007
Mathematic notation. How can I display periodic or recurring numbers with an overline (this is a CSS 2 capability)? I need to enter/display periodic or recurring values with an overline (line on top), such as recurring sequences of numbers or creating and extending the bar of the square root symbol. |

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

Thank you James and Debra. It is not perfect, but it does cover one character.

James,
In some specific cases, inserting Equation Editor Object, after proper formatting (font, size, frameless, position), will do the esthetic job. -- Petr Bezucha "JamesOnTheWay" wrote: Thank you James and Debra.

Thank you, Petr! I will give that a try, especially for roots of any power.
It certainly would be handy if Excel placed an overbar / overline over periodic / repeating / recurring decimal sequences.
