- : What you have to do here is, use the real (R) symbol from the symbol

- : 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'.
- Seems you have a different symbol font (or you don't know what the
- scientific symbol for the set of real/complex numbers looks like).
- We need some font that includes such (and other missing) symbols.
- If anyone knows where to get (ftp) one, please let us know.

- : 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.
- Simply pressing <alt><number> (while in the equation-editor),
- where number is the character's position in the specific font (you get get it
- using the character map application) and formatting it accordingly seems to
- be a quicker way (at least for people who do not want grab their mouse every
- time they need to insert a character :).
