[comp.windows.ms] WfW: creating a <= sign

WKWINKEL@ibm.rz.uni-passau.de (O. Winkelhake) (06/28/91)

Hi,

does anybody know, how to create the sign "smaller or equal" and
"greater or equal" in a WfW formula? The ANSI character set does not
seem to have that sign.

Thanks in advance

Try underlining the < and > keys.

Here's another way to do this: in the Symbol character set, characters 163
and 179 are <= and >=, respectively (turn on Num Lock, hold down Alt, and
enter 0163 on the numeric key pad).  BTW, you can also build special chars
like a "not greater than" by using EQ fields: choose FIELDS... from the INSERT
menu, select the Formulas field type and Overstrike, then insert the chars
into the resulting field code (e.g., "{eq \O()}" becomes "{eq \O(>,/)}").

Oh, and you'll need to turn on Field Codes (View menu) to see the formula.
Try doing this with a split screen, with field codes on in one and off in
the other, so you can see the results of your editing immediately.
