Anybody know how to put these into a Word Document? You know the kind of thing ... slight advantage to White, Black etc, but in symbolic form.

Best wishes,

Clive :-)

I don't think Word has those symbols in any of the normal fonts, with the exception of those that are also normal symbols in mathematics. I used the Character Map program to look for some (in Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map : or charmap at the run prompt).

You probably will need a chess font or some other font to get them. At least, as far as I know.

I think I sorted out a solution. I found a way of pasting a character into a jpeg and then rotating it with Windows Paint(in this case the plus-minus sign) so you have a Black advantage sign as well as a White advantage sign.

Not brilliant, but usable!

I did a quick search on google for chess fonts and there are some on the one page I looked at that might also have the symbols built in. Might be worth a look too.

Do you have the link, Martin? :-)

Some of first sets on the page only appear that they have pieces, from the descriptions, but some of the later ones might have the symbols. I haven't installed any of them so I can't say for sure.
