Hi All,

Does anybody know how to type "mean" value symbol?

Basically a horizontal line on top of the letter.

Letetr + " = this, but that means an operation (conjugate).

I just want to have the symbol as my variable for statistics.

I'm using MC 15.

Thank you

Use the character with a combining overline. In principle you should be able to enter the combining overline using the numeric keyboard, but Mathcad messes up the font mappings so there's no way to figure out what the correct character number is. The only solution seems to be to copy and paste it from the character map (it's character 0305 in hex). This does not work for all fonts, but Arial Unicode MS seems to work OK.
