Numeral 7 European-style in Word 2007 KR^ishhNamalaghnataH 4/3/2007 7:42:02 PM In Europe the handwritten number seven has a short horizontal line through it. My question: Is there any Word 2007 or Vista system font that allows one to type such a European-style seven? In Brian Livingston's and Paul Thurrott's recently published book, Windows Vista Secrets, they used this European-style seven. I first wrote to both of them and have not received a reply. Perhaps I should also post this to the Vista newsgroup too. My thanks in advance if you can help me. -- Philoglossist (a.k.a.

Re: Numeral 7 European-style in Word 2007 "Klaus Linke" <info[ at ]fotosatz-kaufmann.de> 4/10/2007 12:36:19 AM Should be easy to find out: Type in a "7", mabe a few more letters, select. Then open "Format > Font", and notice the preview window. If the text looks too small, choose a larger font size. Then, select some font, and scroll up/down the list using the cursor keys. You should be able to check out say 5 fonts each second.

Re: Numeral 7 European-style in Word 2007 "Michael S.

Re: Numeral 7 European-style in Word 2007 KR^ishhNamalaghnataH 4/12/2007 2:00:03 PM Dear Michael, Thank you. I have confirmed the Bradley Hand ITC has it. Re your second comment: after selecting Arial Unicode MS in Word 2007 I typed the following: 7U+0335 and then pressed ALT X and voilà! - a 7 with the line through it. Out of curiosity I tried a number 7 in Times New Roman and Calibri; neither of them worked. In each case the short horizontal line was the the right of the number seven. Thanks again for your help. -- Philoglossist (a.k.a. KaamabhaashhikaH). ... denn so redet m i r die Gerechtigkeit: die Menschen sind nicht gleich. Und sie sollen es auch nicht werden. "Michael S.

RE: Numeral 7 European-style in Word 2007 graphite cat 10/7/2008 8:14:01 PM the easiest way and only way I found in MS Word 2003 and probably any is to type in 7, highlight it, go to Format then Font and do a strikethrough. Not perfect but real good.
