[maximlaithwaite]

In my Word 2002, after I have come out of the equation window it leaves my x-bar as an object like a picture as opposed to a normal symbol/ text letter. Can I avoid this or is that just how it is?

[Tifferings]

yey! this was so helpful! thankyou:)

[KCBombay]

thnx for the post!

[OasisFae]

Thanks! I was going crazy trying to find x-bar in "Symobols" before I realized it wasn't there. :)

[puawahine]

Yeah... OR, you know... you could just type:

x\bar

Just make sure you use the backslash, not forwardslash. ;3

EVERY STUDENT AND PROFESSIONAL THE WORLD OVER

[sweetbaybeh7]

thank you! that was very helpful!

[dhectorg]

Does anyone else think it's absurd that it takes this many steps to create such a common character?! I mean really... I've been using Microsoft products for 2 decades, but it's this kind of stupidity that makes me want to try Apple...and I'm not fan of Apple's overly proprietary architecture either. Can't win.

[tumphreyii]

@dhectorg I agree, I cannot believe that Microsoft would remove the x-bar from the Word environment. Try inserting it if you have a document that does not allow you to insert an equation. There is no way to do it.

[nagar3131]

thats cool explanation...thnx for that .......

keep goin..

[antonyus]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[Keljo82807]

Part II - If you have an = sign after the x, then the X Bar you have created will copy to other cells. IF you don't have an = sign it won't copy correctly. I've been using it for years while teaching statistics. Good Luck.

[Keljo82807]

Two PART Posting: Here is a non object based method to create x bar, or y bar or any letter or number bar type character in excel or word. Enter the lower case on the GRAVE ACCENT key, ` the key is located to the left of the #1 key. Then enter the letter of choice such as x, y, etc. You will see ' x displayed on screen. Now go back and highlight the ' and change the font to "symbol" or the ` ONLY. It is not an object but rather a letter. Read 2nd post.

[digiwurmz]

really helpful! I was on library so my laptop was in silence mode, but still can understand your tutorial. =D

[Crouchienv]

Brilliant! Thank you. I was pasting a really ugly x bar that made my thesis look horrible!

Let's hope Microsoft put x bar back in the 'Mathematical Operators' part of 'Symbols' in the next version of word!

[milesrunsthevoodoo]

great job :) thanks

[vi3tr0m3o]

[sd7403]

Sweet!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!

[SueMoseley]

Thank you - what a relief - I've wasted hours trying to solve this problem.

[nbond1986]

OR you could just....

Press CTRL+F9 (this is a shortcut to inserting a field into your Word document), and then copy and paste the following (included below) into the braces that appear (between them). After doing this, click your mouse anywhere outside of the field and then click on "Print Preview" to view the result.

EQ \O(x,ˉ)

[JazkaStar]

Thanks! Easier than typing "average". And I think using symbols will be better for my stats assignment.

Thanks so much! That is the only symbol that I could not figure out how to make! Great tutorial!

Thank you SO MUCH!!!! You saved me lots of grief. Both of the videos you've done on the x-bar in word 2007 were great.

Thanks again!

[horsegeek0]

i have a question. How can i edit a symbol or make my own symbol and put it in word and use it?

[christielee1]

Hi, I can think of a couple of possibilities for this one. I guess the solution really depends somewhat on the type of symbol you are trying to achieve and how important it is that it 'blend in' with the rest of the text. Can you tell me what it is you are trying to create? That would give me a better idea.

Without knowing much about what you want to achieve exactly, my first thoughts are these (I'm no expert BTW:

[christielee1]

1. Before I made it too hard for myself, the first things I would check are the various symbols available under each of your installed font types (remember, you can always install more fonts if needed).

2. If that fails to help, depending on the symbol, you could look at whether or not you could make it in equation editor.

3. If all else fails, you could make it yourself (or edit an existing one) in an image editing program, save it as a bitmap, and insert it as an object that way.

[horsegeek0]

# 2 and three sound best, but # three wins over all. how can i go about this? IM NO PRO!

[horsegeek0]

well the symbol is just a symbol i drew out one day on a piece of paper and thought, "This might be cool to get it on the computer and be able to type it.

i can't really draw it on paint though. Paint sux for what i am doing. so yeah. what do u think?

[chromeboy2k]

Thanks. Just what I needed.

[slipknotpsychoman]

cool, never knew that.

[sillysarahc123]
