Inserting Symbols


PowerPoint comes with a host of symbols for every need. Insert just the right one to keep from compromising a presentation's professional appearance with a hand-drawn arrow («) or missing mathematical symbol (å). In the Symbol dialog box, you use the Recently used symbols list to quickly insert a symbol that you want to insert again. If you don't see the symbol you want, use the Font list to look at the available symbols for other fonts installed on your computer.

Insert Symbols and Special Characters


Click the document where you want to insert a symbol or character.

Click the Insert tab, and then click the Symbol button.

To see other symbols, click the Font list arrow, and then click a new font.

Click a symbol or character.

You can use the Recently used symbols list to use a symbol you've already used.

Click Insert.

Did You Know?

You can insert a symbol using a character code. When the From box displays ASCII (decimal), you can use the number shown in the Character Code box to insert a character or symbol. Place your insertion point where you want the character on the slide, make sure Num Lock is on, hold down the Alt key, and then use the numeric keypad to type 0 (zero) followed by the character code. Then release the Alt key. The code applies to the current code page only, so some characters may not be available this way.
