How do i copy and paste a "symbol" in Microsoft word?

[Guest]

I need symbols (especially scientist/doctors symbols) to copy and paste. All
that appears is a "box". How can I find and/or convert?

Please ask this question in a newsgroup which supports Microsoft Word;
this newsgroup is for a different program, Microsoft Access. You'll
need to use a font which includes the symbols you want; Times New
Roman doesn't have a minim or a scruple symbol. The folks in the Word
newsgroups should be able to help.

The same as in most programs.

Open: Start - All Programs - System Tools - Character Map

Follow the instructions.

If you use the same one(s) often, then consider adding them to some sort
of auto replace in Word. For more information ....

Sorry this is the MS Access (the database program) newsgroup. Try a
newsgroup devoted to the program you are using. You should find people
better able to address your problem there than here.
