Putting ^ above a variable in MS Word 2016

Lou_Reed · #1 08-29-2018, 01:23 PM

I am trying to make a simple change in a variable in MS Word 2016.

I am trying to put a hat on a variable yi. I cannot do so. I have tried many things.

None seem to work.

I can only put the hat or ^ next to the variable, not above it.

I am confused a to how to do this.

The attached file shows the incorrect way that it is done now.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

You could simply insert the ŷ character there. See Insert|Symbol> Unicode character 0177. Rather than using Insert|Symbol, though, you could simply type 0177, followed by Alt-x. See attached.

I need a general way to do this. this is only one of several instances where I want to put something on top of a variable.

In that case, use one of the accent/overbar options.
