Note
A complete table of Greek characters is included in Chapter 16
(Math Objects) in the
Writer Guide
.
Another way to enter Greek characters is by using the catalog window.
Go to Tools > Catalog. The catalog window is shown in Figure 276.
Under “Symbol Set” select “Greek” and double-click on a Greek letter
from the list.
Figure 276. Catalog - used for entering Greek characters
Example 2:
≃ 3.14159
For this example we will suppose that:
• We want to enter the above formula (the value of pi rounded to 5
decimal places).
• We know the name of the Greek character (“pi”).
• But we do not know the markup associated with the
≃
symbol.
Step 1: Type “%” followed by the text “pi”. This displays the Greek
character
.
Step 2: Open the Selection window (View > Selection).
Step 3: The
≃
symbol is a relation, so we click on the relations button
. If you hover the mouse over this button you see the tooltip
“Relations” (Figure 277).
