Inserting Symbols (Word 97 on Windows 2000)

Author	Message
LHIT #1 / 4	Inserting Symbols (Word 97 on Windows 2000) I cannot insert symbols from the menu bar as normal. When I issue that command Word responds by adding a round bullet (complete with tab to indent) rather than bringing up the Insert Symbols dialog box. Has anyone heard of this before? I'm using Word 97 on Windows 2000).

Suzanne S. Barnhil #2 / 4	Inserting Symbols (Word 97 on Windows 2000) Open Tools \| Customize and drag the Symbols button off the toolbar (or Symbol command off the Insert menu--your description is ambiguous). Drag a new one from the Insert category. That will take care of the possibility that someone used the Symbol button face for a button that inserts a bullet (or applies bullets, whichever it is that the button is doing). If that doesn't work, then it's possible someone has gotten cute and written a macro to insert a bullet and named it InsertSymbol. You can check on this in Tools \| Macro \| Macros. -- Suzanne S.

LHIT #3 / 4	Inserting Symbols (Word 97 on Windows 2000) It turned out to be the second option, and the culprit was me. I created a macro a while ago to do this and unfortunately named it InsertSymbol. Thanks for the help!

Suzanne S. Barnhil #4 / 4	Inserting Symbols (Word 97 on Windows 2000) It's a good idea to be aware of what Word's built-in commands are called. Familiarizing yourself with the list under All Commands in Customize is one approach to this. -- Suzanne S.
