Hi,
How do I insert math symbols inline? Do I have to create an equation
string or can I just insert a symbol, like the Greek mu?
Thanks.
You can create an equation, or apply a character format:
Click somewhere in the margin of your document so you're not in the text
flow.
Create a new character format, name it and save it in the catalog.
Choose the new format from the dropddown list.
Check that everything is set to As Is (press Shift+F8 if not).
Change the font to Symbol; Update All.
In your text, type the normal character (or Alt-key combination) for the
symbol you want, and apply the new character format to it. Mu is a
lowercase 'm'; Omega is uppercase 'W', etc. You can find character
tables on-line or create your own by typing the alphabet in upper and
lower, copying and pasting and then applying the char tag to the duplicate.
HTH,
