Hi there,

I am trying to modify the symbols in MS word (Insert-->Symbols)

Does anybody know how to create custom ones?

Thanks

Word doesn't have that but Windows does:
Check Windows Character Map; it'll let you create special characters and
add them to all fonts, the font of your choice, or create a new font.

Well ... not Character Map itself, but something called "Private
Character Maker," which can be accessed through the Character Map help
menu.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is this feature documented?

Does this count as an "easter egg"?

What other miracles are hiding inside Windows XP? In the last few
weeks here I've learned about Speech Recognition and OCR.
