Special Characters in Word

This is very simple with Microsoft Equation.

1. In the Microsoft Office program of your choice, click "Insert" on the menu bar and then click "Object" from the drop-down menu.
2. Scroll through the list of Object Types until you find "Microsoft Equation 3.0". Select this and then click "OK".
3. Type the letter "K". Then select the K as if you were going to change the font.
4. On the menu bar, click "Style" and then select "Text". This sets the K to be in the normal font, not italics.
5. In the Equation Menu Bar, click on the button for Embellishments (third from left in top row), and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu. You want the fourth item in the second column - the one with the caret.
6. Click somewhere else in your document window to close the Equation Editor and return to the normal mode.

This is a little-know trick that enables the accurate entry of many scientific, statistical, medical, etc. symbols. There's really no limit to what can be done. If you need more than Microsoft Equation can do, MathType is a commercial program that greatly enhances what Equation does.

I hope this helps.
