Hi

Does anyone know how to get the symbol for wavenumber, nu bar, in Word?

Also if anyone has any tips on how to draw a triple bond quickly in Word. I'm happy to use the equal sign for a double bond

thanks

If you have the 2007 version of word, you can go in 'insert' and then insert an equation which you can then format to get the bar above, if not you might have to stick to using '1/λ' or just 'v'. As for the triple bond, you can copy & paste this '≡'.

Try using the Equation Editor. You will find the tilde (or overbar, if you prefer) in the "Accent" menu and you can grab the Greek letter "nu" from the Symbols>Greek letters menu that is also within the Equation Editor.

Hello,

To insert the symbol for wavenumber in Word, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the "Insert" tab in the top menu.
2. Click on "Symbol" in the "Symbols" section.
3. In the dropdown menu, select "More Symbols."
4. In the "Symbol" tab, select "Arial Unicode MS" as the font.
5. Scroll down until you find the symbol for wavenumber (which looks like a lowercase Greek letter "nu" with a horizontal line above it).
6. Click on the symbol and then click "Insert."

As for drawing a triple bond quickly in Word, you can use the "Shapes" tool to draw a line and then add three dashes to represent the triple bond. Alternatively, you can use the "Insert" tab and select "Equation" to insert a chemical equation and use the "Aa" button to add a triple bond symbol.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Best,
