| 218354 | 2004-02-26 08:33:00 | Go to | Insert | Symbol... You should find what you are after there. If it will be regular insertion then take note of the shortcut keys to save time. |

| 218356 | 2004-02-26 08:57:00 | Are you talking about the 'straight line' or the 'wiggly line' that you see above a letter to show that it is pronounced differently? If so, let me know which ones you are after and I will hunt out the shortcuts. I am using Word (Office) XP, not sure if they are the same. |

| 218357 | 2004-02-26 09:09:00 | this is for Maori to show that the letter sound is said longer, and i have seen various versions of it, straight line, sqiggle and two dots. but most common is straight line. Word 97 and using XP beetle |

| 218360 | 2004-02-26 09:30:00 | Beetle. Have a look through Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. You'll find hundreds of odd characters for various languages. If the one you want is not on the first page, just change the Font at the top as the characters vary from font to font. If you're going to use it often, either write down the code or put a shortcut to Character Map on your desktop. |

| 218361 | 2004-02-26 09:34:00 | Sorry, meant to give you an example. In Word, hold down your Alt key, type 0226 on the keypad at the right, release the Alt key. One I use regularly. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 218362 | 2004-02-26 09:37:00 | What happens when you click on Insert, then Symbols? Does this not show the specific symbols you are wanting? I found this (www2.corvallis.k12.or.us)that may help. Doesnt seem to work with my version but it might work with yours. good luck |
