Robert-- The "care of" symbol of which you speak is a Unicode-only character, meaning that whether it shows up or not is going to depend on whether the font set you are using is A) Unicode and B) contains that symbol. Further, C) if the mapping is non-standard--as some Unicode fonts are--the "care of" symbol won't appear; instead, you'll likely get something else entirely. For these reasons, using the "c/o" symbol in a shared document may give inconsistent results. However, if you wish to add the symbol to printed material, you can simply find, select, and copy the symbol from Windows' Character Map utility (Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools), then paste it into your document before printing. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Carneal USA Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 1:12 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] "c/o" symbol I don't see a symbol for "c/o" in the symbols list. My college Word book says to make that symbol, I should press 2105, highlight "2105" and press Alt-x. It says the "c/o" symbol will then take the place of "2105." It does not, at least, not for me. I am using Word 2000. I can make the "c/o" symbol by using c/o, but I would prefer a more proper-looking one. Can anyone tell me how to make that symbol please? Thank you.
