Rand: On my Word 97 (and probably yours is not really different) you
can click on 'insert' then 'symbol' and a large chart of special symbols
will appear, including copyright, squared, etc. etc. If you're using
e-mail, you can open MS word, go to symbol, click on the X, click
'insert' which will make it appear on a blank document, highlight the X,
do edit-copy, then go back into e-mail and do edit-paste-special to get
the symbol X into your message. If you don't do edit-paste-special,
just edit-paste, you'll get a question mark, instead.
Experiment and see how your computer reacts.

John:
The x of normal fonts is used for convenience because of the
difficulty of
coaxing most computers to provide the multiplication sign! If anyone
can
tell me what combination of keys will produce it in Microsoft Word
2000 I
should be immensely grateful!
Word for Mac x notho, neither.
