I need a list of the unicode names, or whatever it is, for math symbols. I need it fast, too. This thing is due tonight.
Right now, I need the "function" symbol. You know, the one that looks like a real tall script "f."
I need to type "Y is a function of X," but it looks really lame in words.
Darned if I can put my hands on that list, and I've typed my way through several character sets in Word without encountering it.
Thanks in advance, with a big Lamby smooch.

From Microsoft HELP on MS Word 2003
Insert an equation
Click where you want to insert the equation.
On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
In the Object type box, click Microsoft Equation 3.0.
If Microsoft Equation Editor is not available, you may need to install it.
How?
If you originally installed Microsoft Office from a network file server or from a shared folder, you must install Equation Editor from that location. If you installed Office from a CD-ROM, you must install Equation Editor from the disc.
Quit all programs.
Do one of the following:
If you run Microsoft Windows 2000, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel.
If you run Microsoft Windows XP, click Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
In the Currently installed programs box, click the listing for Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word, depending on whether you installed Word as part of Office or as an individual program, and then click Change.
On the Maintenance Mode Options screen, click Add or Remove Features, and then click Next.
If a Custom Setup screen appears, select the Choose advanced customization of applications check box, and then click Next.
In the list of features to install, click the expand indicator (+) next to Office Tools.
Click the arrow next to Equation Editor, and then click Run from My Computer.
Click Update.
Restart Word.
Click OK.
Build the equation by selecting symbols from the Equation toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.) and by typing variables and numbers. From the top row of the Equation toolbar, you can choose from more than 150 mathematical symbols. From the bottom row, you can choose from a variety of templates or frameworks that contain symbols such as fractions, integrals, and summations.
If you need help, click Equation Editor Help Topics on the Help menu.
To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document.
Tip
If you frequently work with equations, you may want to add the Equation Editor button to a toolbar so that you can insert equations quickly.
Right-click the toolbar where you want to add the button, click Customize, and then click the Commands tab.
In the Categories list, click Insert.
In the Commands list, click Equation Editor and drag to the toolbar.

Looks better in Word with the Times Roman f. On the forum, it doesn't have the lower loop.Lambchop wrote:Well, I'll be darned! So it is!

How come you can only get a big smooch around here if you're any good at Maths? I do know my tables up to twelve times - do I qualify?
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me -
I am the lord of the dance, said he!
