I would like to create a gas flow symbol ("V" with dot over it) using
Word 97,  is there a font I need to install or can I manually create it?

Thanks,

Derek Scuteri

You may be able to find this symbol in one of the "large" Unicode fonts such
as Arial Unicode MS, but you can also easily create it as an overstrike
field; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm

I'm running Word 97, creating the character seems slightly different.
It seems to work but I can't find a dot high enough to fit over the V.

You have to raise the dot. This is done in the field just as it would be
done in ordinary text, using the Character Spacing tab of the Font dialog).

Well what I have now that seems ok is a V overstrike with :

Will need to upgrade to take advantage of new features.
Right now running XP Home SP2 with MS Office 97.

Thanks for help.

You should be able to use character 0183 (Unicode 00B7), raised a few
points. There is a Unicode character, 02D9, named Dot Above, but it's pretty
small (though no smaller than the dot in a colon). This may be the best you
can do: I don't find a V with a dot above even in Arial Unicode MS (though
there is one with a dot below)--nothing in any of the Latin Additional or
Mathematical Operators or Miscellaneous Technical character sets.

Unicode o2d9 might be useful for the high dot.

That should be 02d9.

I see you had it correct in your more-detailed reply made alost an hour 
earlier than mine.
