I need to use up and down arrows in a document but cannot
find them in symbols. Anybody know where they are?

Click to expand...

For an up arrow, type 2191 into the document and press Alt+X. For a
down arrow, do the same with 2193. (The numbers are the hex Unicode
values of the characters.) They're available in at least Times New
Roman, Arial, Courier New, and Lucida Sans Unicode.

In the Insert > Symbol dialog, choose one of these fonts -- or place
the cursor in text formatted with one of these fonts, then open the
dialog and select (normal text) -- and then set the Subset dropdown to
Arrows.

There are simple ones in Symbol (0173 and 0175), and others in Webdings,
Wingdings, and Wingdings 3, amongst other typefaces.
