MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / August 2006Omega symbol needs to be upside-down for project
My boss wants an upside-down omega symbol to use in a book about the aurora borealis. I put the right-side-up omega symbol in a text box and cannot get it to rotate using the drawing toolbar, the rotate is unhighlighted. I also tried to change text direction on the formatting toolbar, which will not allow me to turn it upside-down, just sideways. Anyone have any idea on how to make it upside-down, short of scanning the tiny symbol, rotating it, and inserting it as a picture of the symbol? There must be an easier way??? Thank for any help at all. I am on a Mac OSX 10.3.9, using Word, 2004, 11.2. Hi, Not really a VBA question, but you can do the following. Insert your symbol. Select it. Copy it. On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog box, double-click either Picture (Windows Metafile) or Picture (Enhanced Metafile). Select the picture. On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, point to Rotate or Flip, and click Flip Vertical. HTH, Dave > My boss wants an upside-down omega symbol to use in a book about the > aurora borealis.

Then having done all that, save the resulting flipped image as an autotext or autocorrect entry for ease of repetition.

When I paste the single letter in the spot I need it, which is in parenthesis, it places it above my line of text and is a line length long, so I have the letter with blank area the whole length of my line. If I try to move the line handles, it will only change the height of the line, but not the length. I hope that makes sense. (Sorry I got the wrong group, I'm getting used to how this works. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > > > I am on a Mac OSX 10.3.9, using Word, 2004, 11.2. An alternative to Dave's suggestion is to use the character editor (eudcedit.exe) to create the symbol. > My boss wants an upside-down omega symbol to use in a book about the > aurora borealis.
