Public Sub InsertSymbol (CharacterNumber As Integer, Optional ByRef Font As Object, Optional ByRef Unicode As Object, Optional ByRef Bias As Object)

Parameters

CharacterNumber: Int32

Required Integer. The character number for the specified symbol. This value will always be the sum of 31 and the number that corresponds to the position of the symbol in the table of symbols (counting from left to right). For example, to specify a delta character at position 37 in the table of symbols in the Symbol font, set CharacterNumber to 68.

Font: Object

Optional Object. The name of the font that contains the symbol.

Unicode: Object

Optional Object. True to insert the Unicode character specified by CharacterNumber; False to insert the ANSI character specified by CharacterNumber. The default value is False.

Bias: Object

Optional Object. Sets the font bias for symbols. This argument is useful for setting the correct font bias for East Asian characters. Can be one of the following WdFontBias constants: wdFontBiasDefault, wdFontBiasDontCare, or wdFontBiasFareast. This argument may not be available to you, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you’ve selected or installed.

Remarks

If you don't want to replace the selection, use the Collapse(Object) method before you use this method.
