Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word 2005-09-17 03:48 am PC Magazine tells you how to enter Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word documents here:http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-2093-5-55-74092-241664-0-0-0-1I found the alphanumeric keying didn't work for me, but the insert symbol command can find a lot of symbols we might like to use in a non-NWC environment.

Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #1 – 2005-09-17 03:53 am G'day David,it worked for me BUT I had to experiment a little - what you need to do is type in the number - E.G. 266d - then press <Alt-X> Quote Selected
Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #2 – 2005-09-17 10:02 am Alt-X doesn't work in Office 2000, but it does in 2003. Sadly however I can't find a font with characters at 266d, e and f so it's not much use anyway! Quote Selected
Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #3 – 2005-09-17 12:13 pm Did you know that MS Word allows font embedding? And, did you know that useful symbols (not at those code locations) can be found in some of my music fonts)? Quote Selected

Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #7 – 2005-09-18 03:53 am Don't see what the problem is, after all in Word if you type d and select NWCV15 font you get sharp, e natural and f flat. Quote Selected

Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #9 – 2005-09-18 01:54 pm Even if you do have the NWC font, its alignment relative to surroundings may not be the same as with ordinary text, if what you are trying to do is add the accidentals within a stream of (say) Times New Roman. The NWC font is intended for use within NWC. Quote Selected
Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #10 – 2005-09-18 07:53 pm At least the Insert Symbol-trick works fine. The symbols we're after are at the bottom, a bit to the left. Quote Selected
Re: Sharps, Flats, and Naturals as text in Word Reply #11 – 2005-09-18 11:11 pm For those who can't get the numeric code to work, you could just find the appropriate symbols, insert them in a blank word document, and save it. Then when you need the symbol, open the file and copy it into your document. Might be easier than trying to remember which font had it. Quote Selected
