Brian, Here is link to crystallographic font that has 1,2,3,4,6 with bars and other useful symbols: http://x-seed.net/crystallography.ttf The disadvantage to use this is that others who opens word file should have the font installed. I use word bar symbol which is 20th symbol after "z" when you choose "Insert symbol". You could create shortcut to this bar and insert it before 1 "P¯1"but also you need to select this bar and make font condensed by about 6 pt. The crystallographic 1bar looks like this: 1 .

I know how to do this with the equation editor. Can anyone contribute any better choices? Brian
