This will work on all Windows based Microsoft documents like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

For example, alt + 177 will produce the plus or minus symbols like. The only problem that might occur is that the font of the preceding letter doesn't contain the necessary accented character, so you'll get whatever is in the corresponding positionįor that font. On Windows based documents, hold one of the alt key on your keyboard and press the numbers in the first column of the above table.

The Accent gallery is intended only for use with the Equation feature, not for general typing of accented characters in text.Īlmost every font in Windows - other than the symbol-type fonts - has a full set of accented characters. Is there a way to set a default font and style for the tool? It's My question, however, relates to the Accents tool in Word, which is almost passable, except that the letters always appear in Cambria Math italics rather than the style set for the paragraph. Given that most peopleĭon't often need to type words like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" or "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," I think you should reprogram the hardware keys to work like the virtual ones.

The key-combination method on the Mac isn't perfect, but it's much better than Windows can offer with a physical keyboard. On-screen keyboard, and holding down the letter to get the pop-up menu (quickly giving you eēéêèë, for example). When there is a touchscreen available, I usually find myself resorting to the (Another pro-tip, to start an equation in Word you can press Alt=.) In the subsequent examples I will use to represent hitting the space bar, and there are other examples of using (for the left arrow key) and for the backspace button.With regret, let me start by saying that inserting accented letters into a Word document on Windows is much harder than it should be. For example, you can type \gamma, hit the space bar, and then the equation will actually change to showing the gamma symbol. One of the things to note about the equation editor in Word is that you can type various shortcuts and then they will be automatically converted. Those have a few references I gathered from the internet, but the best IMO is this guys blog (who I think is a developer for Word) and this document authored by the same individual.

I also have this in a Word (docx) document and a PDF for handy reference. So here are a set of examples for many of the use cases I have needed to use in journal articles.


I don’t do too heavy of math stuff, and I have figured out the Microsoft Word equation editor enough to suit most of my needs. The main nicety of LaTeX are math equations. I did my dissertation in LaTeX, and I would do that in LaTeX again, but smaller articles are not a big deal. (FYI folks, besides doing the obvious and pointing out typos if they exist, my text editor has a spell checker same as Word to highlight typos.) Besides this, none of my co-workers use LaTeX, so it is a non-starter for when I am collaborating. Last time I submitted a LaTeX document to Criminology a reviewer said it probably had typos - without pointing out any of course. Many refuse to accept PDF articles outright, and last time I submitted a LaTeX file to JQC (a Springer journal) that would not compile I received zero help from staff over a month of emails, so I just reformatted it to a Word document anyway. Most of the journals in my field (criminology and criminal justice) make it difficult to turn in an article in that format. A student asked me about using LaTeX the other day, and I stated that it is a bit of a hassle for journal articles in our field, so I have begun to use it less.
