Inserting Symbols

Inserting symbols and special characters which are not on the keyboard is actually easier  than in previous Office versions.

1. Place the cursor in the correct position in the document. We use the Insert category here, it's a good idea to remember the hot keys otherwise it's a long way to tab to Symbol which is at the end of the ribbon. Press Alt+N,U to open the list of symbols.

2. Choose the desired symbol using the arrow keys and press Space. The symbol is now inserted in the document.
