Is it possible to add symbols to the symbol table?

[Guest]

As a student, I frequently use my laptop to take notes and write up projects.
Short cut keys are my best friend. When writing up science reports I have
to frequently use letters with a single dot above them (for example V with a
dot above it). I know that I can just create the character in equation
editor, but I was wondering if there is some way that I can place the
character in the symbol table and assign a short cut key to it. I haven't
had any luck finding if/how to do this with Microsoft Help, so any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

I don't think you can do that.

Why don't you just create AutoText for your various symbols? You can then
assign the AutoText entry to convient keyboard shortcut.

Or they could be saved as formatted AutoCorrect entries.
