    Insert Symbols

    Can I insert a symbol into a field?



    Example: In MS Word you can insert the >/= sign so that it looks like: ≤

    Not like MS Word, but you can change the font that produces that char.

    Try copy/paste symbols from the Windows Character Map.

    I opened MS Word and dropped a few of the symbols onto a blank document then copied them as I needed. It works but it's a little cumbersome. I was hoping for a solution within Access. Oh well, at least they copy nicely and look good on the reports. Problem solved.
