Is it possible to find a symbol for with c with a line
over it, which means with. I have looked in Character Map
and don't see anything. The s with a line on top means
without. Has anyone ever used this?

Hi Chris,

Type this in a document:

EQ \o(c,¯)

where you get the overbar (macron) by holding Alt while typing 0175 on the
number pad with NumLock turned on.

Then select everything from the E to the right parenthesis, press Ctrl+F9 to
turn it into a field, and press F9 to update it.

Finally, select the field and press Alt+F3, and give it an AutoText name
(use a name of at least 4 characters if you want AutoComplete to work).
 
Thanks so much!!!

If you do alot of this sort of thing, you can create an AUTOTEXT or use this
macro:


Public Sub Negate()

Dim Expr As String
Expr = InputBox("Enter the expression to negate:", "Negate")
If Expr <> "" Then
ActiveDocument.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, _
Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
Text:="EQ \x\to(" & Expr & ")", _
PreserveFormatting:=False
End If
End Sub
