[aus.mac] overbar in Word 4.0

kklw@mullian.ee.mu.OZ.AU (Kevin K L WONG) (01/17/90)

I am using Word 4.0 for my digital design report. For active low
signals, an overbar is put on top of the signal name. How can I
do that in Word 4.0? The only solution I found so far is using
the box function in drawing formulae ie something like
.\X.\TO(RD) but it doesn't look good. Any better idea?

Use the overstrike formula with your character and "_" (superscripted).

The formula is \O(X,_) to get "X-bar".  "\" means command-option-\.
In single-spaced text, this will mess up the line spacing unless you
indicate a negative point value for the line-spacing in the Paragraph box.
