- What you have to do here is, use the real (R) symbol from the symbol
- font set. First go to eqn. editor and type x, then inser the element
- symbol from palette. Now switch to prog. man. and run the utility
- character map. supplied by Win3.1. From the font list choose 'Symbol'
- font set and then choose the Real (R) symbol by double clicking on
- it, then click on copy. At this point you go back to the eqn. editor
- by pressing alt+tab. From the edit menu choose 'paste'.
-
- This way one can use many more symbols available in the 'symbol' and
- wingding font sets (or from any other) that are not given in the
- eqn. editor palette.
-
- The above could also be done by using NDW's key finder.
