I cannot find the slanted symbols for feet and inches in Word (MS Office
2003). How do I create them?

They are 2 keys past the L key.

Try Insert - Symbol. Set the Font: to Symbol. I see a serviceable mark for
feet in Character code 162, and for inches in 178.

But, those aren't slanted. Not a math geek, eh, JoAnn? ;-)

Thanks, Herb, but when I insert symbol 0162 I get Ţ. With 0178, I get Ÿ. I'm
using MS Word (MS Office 2003) on Windows XP. Does that make a difference?

I get the correct characters when I insert them using the Symbol dialog box,
but not when using the direct characters by number. In the Symbol dialog, do
you see the correct symbols in those positions when Symbol font is selected?

No, I do not.

I use the prime and double prime characters at U2032 and U2033. I have
assigned them to Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+Shift+I.

Thank you, JoAnn. I've been trying for months to find the answer. The problem
here is that the symbol for feet and inches must be slanted, and that's where
I'm running into problems. I think the symbol for feet is prime (′ ) under
symbol code 2032, but now I can't find the correct one for double prime (for
inches).
