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.
