How do you enter a copyright symbol in a word document?
|
If you choose Symbol… on the Insert menu, you will bring up the Symbol dialog. (If you have a slow system and/or one with many fonts installed, you may find that this dialog takes an appreciable time to appear the first time you use it in a Word session, but after that it should pop up instantly.)
In the font list in the Symbol dialog, "(normal text)" means the font you are currently using. To insert a character, double-click on it, press Enter, or click the Insert button. The dialog stays open so that you can insert more than one character, and you can “step out” of the dialog to move the insertion point before choosing another character and inserting it. |
