Symbols in Ribbon Tab Labels
"Greg Maxey" <gmaxey[ at ]mIKEvICTORpAPAsIERRA.oSCARrOMEOgOLF> 12/9/2008 11:46:45 PM
I have learned how to include the ampersand in Ribbon labels "&:&" I
was wondering if there is a way or perhaps plans for a way in a future Word
addition to allow using other symbols.

Particularly the superscript TM (trademark) symbol?

Thanks.

Hi Greg,

You can insert any symbol using the unicode character reference, the TM
symbol being ™

To take this a stage further, my (very limited) understanding of xml is that
you should be able to add your own entity definitions in an internal DTD
subset, something like this:

<!DOCTYPE customUI [
<!ENTITY myTM "™">
]>
<customUI etc.

However, this doesn't work. Maybe someone who knows XML could tell me what
I'm getting wrong, but I think maybe it's because the customui is an xml
fragment rather than a complete xml document.

Tony,

Thanks.

How do you find that character reference for a particular symbol?
