hi, is there any way to "overline" a piece of text (not by means of a border)
i just need it to give the mathematical notation of an average value..
thanks for any suggestions
 
Hi Svet!

There's a lot of overlined symbols available in various fonts using
Insert > Symbol (Excel 2002 and 2003).

Or for Excel 2000 and below, use Word to create your overlined symbols
and then copy and paste to Excel.

Yes, that was one of my initial ideas as well, but an overlined T seems to be a linguistically rare occurence. And ever after switching from 2000 to 2003 (and noticing little substantial difference other than visual polishing) ive lost the overline function in Word as well (it wasn't as bad as the annoying ClippIt now, was it - it didnt need to be gotten rid of?). I'll just have to live with my "Av. T"
Thanks for the suggestions
 
Hi Jack Sons!

I made the mistake of believing Svet. :)

"ive lost the overline function in Word"

I looked subsequently and couldn't find it. I was going to offer to
post him a W2K document with it on there.

Hi jaf!

Tried that and got the overlined t into an equation but could copy and
paste it to a cell in Excel. Maybe missed something.

But that facility is available in Word 2002 and 2003.

Yeah, in Word you can insert an object inline. But in Excel, the object
cannot be inline with the text in a cell, it can only float above the cell.
