How do I create a greater than or equal to sign in PPT?

[Lost in PPT]

I can't figure out how to do this with a TrueType font.

You mean this < >

Standard keyboard keys from what I can see.

Insert | Symbol. Normal Text. Choose "mathematical operators" from the
Subset dropdown, and it should be in there.

Please don't use < or > and then just add an underline -- that looks so
very bad....

If you can't find it in "insert - symbol" try Ascii Code 0242 (hold alt and
type 0242 or 242 on your number pad - on laptops use the num key lock). That
should give you the "equal or greater than" sign. See
http://chexed.com/ComputerTips/asciicodes.php for a description of all ascii
codes. You may have to use a "0" in fron of the 3-digit codes. It works on
all keyboards or applications.

Hope this helps.

In PowerPoint here that gives me a grave "o"?

You're right John, so it does for me in PPT. Sorry. I know that I've used
something similar in the past for PowerPoint. I'll try to digg it out. Will
post it if I can find it.

Got it: In PPT it's not an Ascii code. It comes through the "Symbol" font,
which is a system font and should ship with Windows. It's "Symbol (decimal)
179. Go "Insert-Symbol" choose the Symbol font and select the forth posititon
from left 10 rows down. Sorry for the confusion. I use Ascii Codes for German
Umlauts and I usually just believe the internet lists that are out there
because they've never failed me. Not in this instance though...

and 163 (also on the symbol font) for the less that or equal to character

Subset dropdown, and it should be in there.

Yeah, I can't ever remember Alt codes, so I have to resort to the Insert |
Symbol thing.
