Thread: How to type the algebra "x" in Word

Can someone please tell me how to type the "x" ie like two c's together with one back to front in Word. Is it a special font? Thanks

Just type a normal x, then highlight and press the sigma button.

Kind of looks like a backward E and its beside the YouTube button.


::EDIT:: Oh, in MS Word? I have no idea.

In word 2003 "insert" and choose "object"

pick "microsoft equation 2003"

This is the free equation editor that comes with office 2003.

I hope this helps.
