Hi Ernie,

My kids are taking Greek and I wanted to make flash cards. How can I add text1 with the font name 'symbol' so that the word displays with greek letters?

Thank you!

You can't use the symbol font, unfortunately. You'll need to use a "real" font and enter the text as unicode values. Unicode is just a standard representation of characters for all languages. (Feel free to google "Greek unicode")

One way is to find the text (Greek unicode) online and copy-paste into Excel/Word. This is how I get my Chinese into Excel for example... copy-pasting from web sources.

You can also try this website to convert symbol font text into unicode:
