611347 2007-11-14 05:04:00 You could also use Alt xxx in Word as well. Check google for ASCII.

What symbol would you like to insert within a document?

611349 2007-11-14 05:46:00 The problem I am having is that when I go to insert/symbol/wingdings I should be able to click on any one of those symbols and insert it?. Windings opens with a particular symbol highlighted and that is the only symbol I can insert.
Do I need to activate something so I can insert a symbol by choice?.

That is what I am doing but I can't select a symbol only the one that is high lighted and I can't move the dam thing.

I can actually select the symbol that I want by using the arrow keys but I am sure that before I could select the symbol by using the mouse to high-light the symbol of choice. Am I correct or was I dreaming?.

You are correct, the mouse should be able to select the symbol you want - still thinking on this :nerd:

611353 2007-11-14 07:05:00 Dont know about 2003 but in 2007 all you do is select insert and symbols.

The other way you can do it, is run character map, select Wingdings, and copy and paste whatever into Word.

611354 2007-11-14 07:23:00 I don't suppose it matters in the end as long as I can select the required symbol but I am curious as to the reason why I can't select it with the mouse and just high-light it. The only thing I can think that maybe the program has thrown a wobbly but everything else works ok?. Pato (2463)
