Mathematics: How to display numbers/characters with a line over th

Mathematic notation.

How can I display periodic or recurring numbers with an overline (this is a
CSS 2 capability)?

I need to enter/display periodic or recurring values with an overline (line
on top), such as recurring sequences of numbers or creating and extending the
bar of the square root symbol.

Thank you James and Debra. It is not perfect, but it does cover one character.

James,

In some specific cases, inserting Equation Editor Object, after proper
formatting (font, size, frameless, position), will do the esthetic job.

Thank you, Petr! I will give that a try, especially for roots of any power.

It certainly would be handy if Excel placed an overbar / overline over
periodic / repeating / recurring decimal sequences.
