Hello NG,
and yet I face another problem with the bundled equation editir with
Mac Word X and with Mac Word 2004.

When trying to insert unicode character: 2269 of the Mathematical
Operators its the = with ^ on top. No matter which font I use I get a
= with a root on top or a root sitting on top of it. There seems to be
no font to solve the problem.
Is there a way to get the char?

Regards

Wolfgang Ihloff

I believe the character you're describing is Unicode 2259, not
2269. (2269 is a "greater than, but not equal to" symbol.)
However, neither of these two symbols are included in the MT
Extra font, which is what Equation Editor would use to display
them. MathType, on the other hand, which is the professional
version of Equation Editor, DOES have both symbols included in a
much expanded version of MT Extra. You can download a
fully-functional test drive version of MathType at the link in my
signature. MathType 5.1 for Macintosh is compatible with Word
2004.
