Hi,

I have seen the solution somewhere on the net, but unfortunately I cannot
find it:

In Word 97 I want to print letters in a circle (eg. letter B inside letter
O). Can I simulate a cursor left keystroke or how can I print two characters
on top of each other?

One way is to insert an EQ field: Press Ctrl+F9; Word inserts field
delimiters, {}. Within these, type EQ \o(O,B). Note that you may have
to format the "O" in a bigger font and possibly also as lowered (in
Format | Font, Character Spacing tab, at "Position," choose "Lowered"
and specify the desired amount). Some trial and error might be
required to get the best result.

After you've inserted the field code, press F9 to display the result.
Later, if you need to edit the field code, you can use Alt+F9 to
display it F9 to update¹, and Alt+F9 to hide it again.

¹Stricly speaking, the EQ field is one of few fields that actually do
update automatically, so pressing F9 may not be needed.

Tack så mycket Stefan,

Your solution is different to that I earlier found, but nevertheless; your
works too - with one modification:
Instead of the comma delimiter between the two variables O and B, my version
of Word (read: settings) required a semicolon.

Kul att jag kunde vara till hjälp!

And you are right about the list separator; which character is in use
depends on the regional settings for Windows. For systems with a comma
as the decimal sign, the list separator is (usually) semi-colon, and
for systems with a period as the decimal sign, the list separator is a
comma.
