I NSERTING S YMBOLS  D ISCUSSION

Word provides many symbols for use in documents. Symbols are associated with individual character sets. The available character sets are listed in the Font list in the Symbol dialog box.

The most commonly used character sets are (normal text) , Symbol , and Wingdings . The (normal text) character set includes characters such as a single quotation ( ' ) and the paragraph symbol ( ¶ ), in addition to the numbers, symbols, and letters found on a standard keyboard. This font set also includes a wide variety of special and foreign language characters, such as umlauts (ä) and tildes (ñ), organized by language subsets.

The Symbol character set offers characters such as the copyright ( © ) and spade (  ) symbols. The Wingdings , Wingdings 2 , Wingdings 3 , and Webdings character sets contain many decorative and fun characters, such as bullets, stars, and arrows. For example, you can use a Wingdings bullet character to precede each item in a list.

The Symbol dialog box also displays the most common and recently used symbols, as well as the name (if it has one) and character code of the selected symbol. Use the drop-down list to display the character code in either a decimal or hex format. If a shortcut key is assigned to the selected character, it appears to the right of the Shortcut Key button.
