How do you create the symbol for mean (x-bar)in Word 97?
Suzanne S. Barnhill - 18 Jul 2003 15:23 GMT
There are two ways to create a character with a line over it, both using an
EQ field:

1. Use the EQ \o (overstrike) field to superimpose an overbar (character
0175) over your other character.

2. Use the EQ \x (box) field with the \to switch to put a top border on the
selected text.

The use of the EQ field and its switches is well documented in Word's Help
file.

Whichever method you use, you can save the result as an AutoText entry for
ease of future insertion.
