Does anyone know where I can find the (RX) medical symbol? Where the capital
R intersects with the capital X.

Thank you, Karen

It's in the Arial Unicode and Lucida Sans Unicode fonts, in the "Letterlike
Symbols" group, at hexadecimal code 211E. If you have Word 2002 or later,
you can type the code 211E in the document and press Alt+X to insert it;
otherwise use the Insert > Symbol dialog. If you use it a lot, assign a
keyboard shortcut to it (there's a button for that in the Symbol dialog).

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm for more help.

Type the following:

211E (the E need not be upper case)

Then press the Alt key while you type the letter x

Assuming you have at least one font installed that contains the Unicode 211E
character you should get what you are looking for.
