John In Brisbane -

A little off the line of discussion here, but should you need to put your little stacks of "x"s and "o"s in a brief text, it's quite simple in Word, although you pretty much have to type each one.

If you hit the F9 key in word, it inserts a field, that's shown as a pair of "curly braces" = "{ }." If you type, inside the braces:

{eq \a(x,x,x,o,o,o)}

when you hit F9 again it will make the stack, in this case with 3 "x"s and 3 "o"s lined up vertically. Use Shift-F9 to toggle back and forth between looking at the "code" and seeing what will print.

You can't use the "autotext" or search and replace to insert fields, but if you type each one out once, you can copy and paste them where you want them.

And now back to our regular program....
