The method of generating the symbol is like this. If you want to type Greek symbol alpha, type &alpha followed by semicolon ( ; ). I cannot type semicolon here because if I do it you will no longer see what I want to instruct but you will see the Greek symbol alpha. After that when you see in preview, you will not see &alpha with ; but will see the Greek symbol alpha. If you want mathematical sign of summation type &Sigma followed by ; without leaving space and in preview you will see proper summation symbol. S in sigma should be a capital letter. With first letter capital you will get capital letter symbols in Greek. Now pasting the symbols below for your use. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ± ° ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? x² ? If you make a mistake in typing spelling of symbol it will not get converted to symbol, e.g., the spelling of lamda written by you is incorrect. It is lambda. So if you type &lambda followed by ; without space, you will get symbol printed when you view in preview and then it will remain in symbol form. If you want various mathematical operators in word file (not here in Yahoo Answers), you can use additional tool of microsoft office called 'equations editor' which you have to add by going to control panel, add/remove program, microsoft office and add in microsoft tools 'equations editor and update. I have used it in my free educational website www.schoolnotes4u.com and you can see in Math Problems -XII Indefinite Integration as to how perfectly mathematical symbols get printed. To do it here, you can copy paste the symbols given below in a word file and preserve for use by copy-pasting.
