you checked out United

provided for teachers this year in Fayette County! The site
contains videos that you may stream or download for your
students. Many contain links to student activities and
teacher's guides. Check with your STC or Librarian on how to
access this resource! |

Tech Tip #18--Inserting Symbols in Word
Have
you ever needed to type a degree symbol after a temperature?
Or needed an accent mark over your e? Or wanted to type a
foreign word with the proper letters that we don't have in our
alphabet?
When
you are typing in Word, inserting symbols is easy. There
are a couple of ways you can do it:
- First,
when typing the word, stop when you get
to the point where you
want to insert the symbol or special character
- Choose
Insert from the file menu
- Then
select Symbol.
- You
will see this window pop up:
- When
you click on the character you want, it will show up
larger (as shown) so you can see if it's what you need.
- Then
you choose Insert.
- Close
the window and go on typing.
- Second,
if there are characters that you use often, you can use the
shortcut keys to type them.
- Look
at the picture above and you will see the shortcut key hint at
the bottom.
- If
you want to type a º then
you can do that by holding the Alt key in while typing
0186 on the number keypad to the right of your keyboard.

K-12
TEACHERS, INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS AND ABOVE: I have shared this
resource before, but this is such a standard resource that it
deserves repeating. For students and teachers as well, this
is one of the easiest ways to correctly cite resources. It's
also helpful for citing Internet resources. And for those of you
who are in graduate school, it provides APA citations. |
