I have attached screen shots of the dialogue boxes for inserting special characters in Word in Mac and PC. As can be seen, in the PC case there are far more options. As far as I can tell, in the case of my Mac, only the characters visible in the dialogue box can be directly entered; this excludes most of the Greek alphabet. I find it difficult to believe that I am the first person to have seen this; my MAC is a brand new MacBook Pro and I have an up to date subscription to Office 365, which updated yesterday or the day before.
I do, from time to time have the need to insert special characters, usually but not exclusively Greek. I cannot understand what the options in Word running in my Mac are so limited. Some explanation/help would be really appreciated.
