Character Sets in Office should include greek symbols for scientis

There was an update by Microsoft for Character Sets to be installed in
Office. Not included in this Character Set was the Greek alphabet. It would
be nice to be able to display the greek alphabet in the toolbar in Word and
other office programs since many scientist use the geek symbols to represent
ideas, words, angles, etc.

Go to Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Character Map which is a useful
little application that gives you a grid containing all the characters
available in the font specified. "Times New Roman", for example,
includes the Greek alphabet as well as lots of others that you never
knew existed. You just select the character you want and then drag it
into the document you are writing.

Unfortunately they didn't translate well into plain text as proved by my
response.

(BTW, a shorter way to get there: Start - Run - type in charmap - OK)
