Interesting find, ZFR! Actually, that is the very same document my wife's place of work received. Now how do they get those characters? I wonder if it can be had on a machine other than Windows...

Wow, I stand corrected! I just glanced at that symbol table the 1st time I looked & assumed they were in there somewhere. You could either go with Callum's idea, or get a custom font created. I guess it depends on how often you think you'll be needing those characters.

LArry,
Try this link. A guide to creating overbars.... I didn't work through the example, but it looks like with some setup, it could be straightforward.

Taking from that website, this is basically what it says to do. Go to: INSERT Go to: FIELD Select: EQ Press: FIELD CODES Go to: OPTIONS Select: \O() Select: ADD TO FIELD * When you do this, the message box will display: EQ \O() * Inside the (), write the letter you want to use, place a comma after it with no space, and then do the macron ALT+0175 * OK your way out of the two screens. Many thanks to you for finding that link! Pass me your address sometime and I'll send you a Christmas card or something. [img]smile.gif[/img] I love Ironworks. There would have been no way I would have found that link no matter how much googling I did, and my wife and I tried before she suggested I ask one of you guys for help.

Guess what...the characters will not copy and paste into Excel where she was hoping to have them, nor will they even travel through e-mail. They only exist in Word where they are created, and will print directly from there.
Ah well...at least we got'em.

You can do it for excel. I just remembered, you can also do this using that tool which comes with word to insert mathematical symbols (integration, and so on...). You can have any character with a bar.
from word, Insert->object->Microsoft equation 3.0 and then play with it then. should work easily for excel too...
