How: Quick Way to Type Unicode in MSWord 1

[Ogart]

Greetings:
The +/- symbol can be typed using <alt>+0177. The Not Equal Sign (= with a / through it) is a unicode symbol (U+2260). Short of the copy/paste silliness, is there a quick way to keyboard that symbol in a Word document (Excel for that matter).

A minor thing, but kind of annoying after a time.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows!

why don't you create an autotext entry?

Insert one of those symbols.
Think of a 4-letter name, like uni=

Then, select the symbol.
Hit Insert-Autotext, New.
Type uni= and hit OK.

Now, any time you type uni= followed by a space, it should replace it with that symbol. If it doesn't automatically do it for you, type uni= and then hit F3.

Inelegant as I thought that would be, it worked. Thanks for the help.
