To input special characters (symbols),


Dialogs(wdDialogInsertSymbol).show
can be used.

However, after inputting one character (symbol), the dialogue disappears.
This is a different behavior from the case we choose the dialogue from menus manually.
If I choose the dialogue from menus, it remains open and ready for inputting another character even after inputting one. The dialogue is floating in this case.

How can I keep the dialogue floating using VBA to show it.

I use Office 2013 and windows 7 (actually Japanese version).

Thanks for reading,

Sanrou.

Try this instead
Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("SymbolsDialog")
