<h1>Insert symbols and characters</h1>
<p>When working on a presentation in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/presentation-editor.aspx" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)"><b>Presentation Editor</b></a>, you may need to insert a symbol which is not available on your keyboard. To insert such symbols into your presentation, use the <img alt="Insert symbol icon" src="../images/insert_symbol_icon.png" /> <b>Insert symbol</b> option and follow these simple steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>place the cursor where a special symbol should be inserted,</li>
<li>switch to the <b>Insert</b> tab of the top toolbar,</li>
<li>
click the <img alt="Insert symbol icon" src="../images/insert_symbol_icon.png" /> <b>Symbol</b>,
<p><img alt="Insert symbol sidebar " src="../images/insert_symbol_window.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>The <b>Symbol</b> dialog box will appear, and you will be able to select the required symbol,</li>
<li>
<p>use the <b>Range</b> section to quickly find the necessary symbol. All symbols are divided into specific groups, for example, select 'Currency Symbols' if you want to insert a currency character.</p>
<p>If this character is not in the set, select a different font. Many of them also have characters that differ from the standard set.</p>
<p>Or, enter the Unicode hex value of the required symbol into the <b>Unicode hex value field</b>. This code can be found in the <b>Character map</b>.</p>
<p>You can also use the <b>Special characters</b> tab to choose a special character from the list.</p>

<p>The previously used symbols are also displayed in the <b>Recently used symbols</b> field,</p>
</li>
<li>click <b>Insert</b>. The selected character will be added to the presentation.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Insert ASCII symbols</h2>
<p>ASCII table is also used to add characters.</p>
<p>To do this, hold down the ALT key and use the numeric keypad to enter the character code.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: be sure to use the numeric keypad, not the numbers on the main keyboard. To enable the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key.</p>
<p>For example, to add a paragraph character (ยง), press and hold down ALT while typing 789, and then release the ALT key.</p>
<h2>Insert symbols using Unicode table</h2>
<p>Additional characters and symbols might also be found via Windows symbol table. To open this table, do one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>in the Search field, write 'Character table' and open it,</li>
<li>
simultaneously press Win + R, and then in the following window type <code>charmap.exe</code> and click OK.
