MS Office Forum / Word / Printing and Fonts / November 2005Need LAW Bookman Old Style
Hi -- My Bookman Old Style font doesn't have the section character for legal work. Can I copy a section character from a different font and insert it into Bookman? Update Bookman? Find another font that looks like Bookman? Thanks. <*((((><{ Fishy@Ocean.Net >Hi -- > My Bookman Old Style font doesn't have the section character for [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] ><*((((><{ >Fishy@Ocean.Net Unless you have a damaged font file or some cheap knockoff <g> your Bookman Old Style certainly does have the section character (§) -- it's a standard character in the ASCII set. In the Insert > Symbol dialog, it appears 12 characters after the lower case z, between the yen sign and the copyright symbol.

Not ASCII, but in the Windows character set and ISO-8859-1 (character 167, as you suggested). http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00a7/index.htm  SignatureStan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "That was a stupid lie, easy to expose, not worthy of you."

Gack! You're right, it does. I've never had that set to anything but "Unicode" until now, so I never noticed that particular bêtise.

George Sanders as "Addison Dewitt" in /All About Eve/ (1950) Hi; Are you certain? I think that Bookman Old Style contains that symbol and you can insert it with Alt +0176.

Is there a way for me to copy a section symbol from a different font and put it into Century Schoolbook? <*((((><{ Fishy@Ocean.Net In the last exciting episode on Tue, 25 Oct 2005 00:11:01 -0300, "Tom Ferguson" <tomf@mvps.org> wrote: >Hi; > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >: <*((((><{ >: Fishy@Ocean.Net Hi Fishy, Century Schoolbook certainly does include the § symbol, just like almost every other text (non-symbol) font I've ever seen. Correcting Tom's typo, the shortcut is Alt + 0167. You can find it in the Insert > Symbol dialog. When there's a symbol in a particular font that really isn't present in most other fonts, it's quite difficult to "put it into" those other fonts. You'd need a specialized font editor program to do that, and the decent ones are pretty expensive, especially for infrequent users. You'd be better advised to make the symbol into a formatted AutoText or AutoCorrect entry stored in the appropriate template.
