I hope you don't teach English!

You can enter the division sign (in a unicode font) by typing ALT+0247 on
the numeric keypad.

Try Insert > Symbol. In Word 2000 the shortcut key combination Alt + 0247
produces the sign in most fonts. Press and hold the Alt key, then type 0247
on the numeric keypad, with NumLock on.
Standard spelling and punctuation, and judicious use of the exclamation
point, tends to make your questions easier to read, which in turn encourages
people to respond. This may be important if you are asking a more complex
question. Chat jargon is not always appropriate in newsgroups.

Thanks for saying so.

While I have your attention, please excuse me while I try to take advantage
of that. I spend most of my newsgroup time in the Access newsgroups, but I
came here because I am trying to find a way (third-party is OK) method of
auditable document management. This is from a post last week, to which I
received no response:

I know that Word has a change tracking feature, and that there
is a Versions feature that will keep track of the last ten versions, but
from what I hear the file can quickly become bloated. Even so, maybe I
could protect documents with a change password, but it seems that once I
have opened the file I can delete a version even if changes to the document
are protected. We need to address the security of electronic documents, so
will need a system that can be audited. In other words, if somebody makes a
change we need to know who made it, what they changed, and when they changed
it. This information should be protected from changes.
I believe it would be possible through the use of macros and a log file (or
something of the sort) to keep track of such things, but implementing and
maintaining that is probably more than I want to add to my current
responsibilities.

Brue,

I would suggest starting it out as a new post instead of tacking it on to
this one.

I already did that. I'm grasping at straws in posting it here, frankly.

But, what about the divide by half box sign/symbol? It's not in the insert
--> symbol choices, nor can I find it in character mapping (whatever that
means). I need to make math pages for my kids, where they use the division
box, such as the right parens with a horizontal line on top going right. Know
what I mean? Because it's a lot of math problems, it is not prudent fo me to
insert a graphic image/file. What does the group suggest?

 

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

See my response to your later post. However, I suggest that you get your
children (kids are baby goats) to recognise that the Alt+ 0247 means the
same thing.

What the OP needs is to install the "equation editor" and then they can write equations in the
format normally used by mathematicians.
