How do you make a approximate sign on Microsoft Word?

I have Microsoft Word 2002 and I couldn't find the approximate sign ( the sign that looks like an equal sign except the lines are wavy). I also tried looking on the character map but couldn't find it.





Please help me.


Thank you!

I don't know. You should try copy and paste the symbol that I inserted here.

In Word, you can just do an Insert, Symbol. Much faster. If you click once on the letter, it will show you the shortcut for next time. If you use a symbol a lot, you can make your own key combination. Just click on the shortcut key in Symbols and it will guide you through it. Very handy.

Reply:You can find it under 'symbol'





Click on 'insert' on the menu bar, then 'symbol' and you should find it several rows down. Click on it and then insert.
Reply:What youre looking for is called a tilda. It is actually more of a curvy hyphen then an equals sign since it is only one line. It is a key on your keyboard, not in a font from MSW. On the desktop keyboard it is usually in the top left corner directly left of the number 1 key. On some laptops for space saving design it can be found on the bottom row near the space bar. But almost always on the left side of the keyboard. Just look around, you will find it. gl
