How do I insert a 'therefore' abbreviation in a word document

[Tony Jollans]

Press and hold Alt, type 8756 on the numeric keypad, release Alt.

You will need to use a font which contains the character, of course - Arial
Unicode MS, for example.

In Word, click on Insert | Symbol | Font: Symbol | Character
code: 92 | Insert | Close.

Tony -

Is there a handy-dandy list of these extended (is this the correct term)
characters? I'm not sure what to Google for.

Hi JoAnn,

Not really. There's probably more than you want to know at www.unicode.org
but there are so many symbols and so many different terms that I just google
for them when I need them. "Therefore" is an awkward term to google for but
"unicode "therefore symbol"" brought it straight up - in fact as it's easier
to google than to ask a question here I wonder why so many people fail to do
it.

Do you think there's any merit in trying to draw up a list of symbols in
common use in English? Or would it just be too long and still inadequate?
Would it be possible to search here to find out what people have asked for
and gather them all together? I suppose the Symbol font has many of them
(including therefore) but I prefer not to use that as it makes for difficult
VBA (and Find and Replace).
