Re: No symbol option

You're right, of course. But, when this kind of issue comes up, I usually assume that the user has not deliberately customized... otherwise, they would probably already be familiar with how to get the lost item back. :-)

Reset can be dangerous if your toolbars/menus are customized. It is preferable to add the command back as described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/RestoreMenuCmd.htm

You probably accidentally removed it (Ctrl+Alt+Dash activates a Remove Menu feature so that the next item you click is removed; people often accidentally do this when searching for a dash variation... then accidentally remove the very next command they click on).

To restore it, choose Tools - Customize - Toolbars tab. In the list of Toolbars:, click on the one named Menu Bar so that it is selected. Then click on Reset.

I'm using Word 2003, and I don't have the Symbol option under Insert. What do
I do to make that option available?
