Sree, It depends on whether you want the symbol in math mode or text mode. Different fonts, different presentation. You can also type \alpha in an ERT box and put the alpha symbol in the line of text. On CTAN you'll find a book that lists all possible symbols and their LaTeX codes. It's a valuable desktop reference. Rich -- Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President | Author of "Quantifying Environmental Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
