Add new symbol to Insert/Symbol List

[SCWoodz]

I want to add my own symbols to the Insert/Symbols List. Is there a way
to do this???

I think you'll have to create your own font.

And there are programs that allow you do this. A quick search of google for
"font creation" gave lots of hits--including this one:

(No, I've never done it.)

Take a look at the "Private Character Editor"; it is available on
WindowsXP. From the intro...

To open Private Character Editor, click Start, click Run, and then type
eudcedit.
a.. You can choose to link your private characters to all the fonts in your
font library (so that any font you've selected can display your private
characters), or you can choose to link your private characters only to
specific fonts (so that only the specified font can display your private
characters).
