How do I insert: A {a symbol (member of)} B

[Phil]

I'm try to write an equation where A is a "subset" of Ω using the horizontal
member with an equals line under it.

I've look at math symbols and Word 2007 equation writer, but I don't see the
symbol.

Is there one?

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

Are you looking for Unicode 2286, "subset or equal to"? (I don't know
what you mean by "horizontal member.") Type 2286 on the regular
keyboard, then Alt-X.

Cambria Math, Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans, and Lucida Sans Unicode
are fonts that include that character.

If you're using the equation writer (Alt+=), this character has a Math
AutoCorrect shortcut. Type \subseteq and then press the spacebar.

In regular text, you have two possibilities. One is to go to Office button >
Word Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options > Math AutoCorrect, and check
the box to use Math AutoCorrect in regular text; then use the \subseteq
shortcut.

The other way is to type the number 2286 and then press Alt+X. The way to
find this and similar symbols is to click Insert > Symbol > More Symbols to
open the dialog; set the font to Cambria Math; set the Subset to
Mathematical Operators; and scroll through the display. When you find the
character you want, you can click it and click the Insert button, or you can
note the shortcut key (or set a different one), or you can add an
AutoCorrect entry to insert it.

Besides Cambria Math, you'll find this character in Arial Unicode MS and in
Lucida Sans Unicode.
