Omega Symbol

[Dustin Boyle]

Hello Everybody,
Please don't hate on a mac user stuck on an office wintel
box. My ? is how do I type an omega symbol (on a mac i
just hold shift, ctrl and press z)on a pc? And is there a
pc equivalent to apple key caps? I'm trying to do sound
system designs on visio and would use the omega symbol
quite often to represent ohms for speakers and amps.
Thanks in advance for any friendly responses.

In Visio 2003, choose Insert > Symbol from the menu when in text edit mode.

sorry I should be a little bit more specific, I'm running
visio 2000 on windows 98, it doesn't have the option of
inserting symbols in the insert menu. does this mean that
i'm incapable of doing it?

In that case you may need to see if you can find a Symbol font for the text
and then type the appropriate character.

Capital 'W' in the Symbol font will give you the Greek letter Omega (i.e.
the ohm symbol)...
