q, q̅, or q̄ for quisque and its inflections ("every", "each").Letters with macrons or overlines continue to be used in medical abbreviations in various European languages, particularly for prescriptions. In most forms of Latin scribal abbreviation, an overline or macron indicates omitted letters similar to use of apostrophes in English contractions. Main articles: scribal abbreviation, medical abbreviation, and macron (diacritic) The macron is narrower than the character box. Marking one or more words with a continuous line above the characters is sometimes called overstriking, though overstriking generally refers to printing one character on top of an already-printed character.Īn overline, that is, a single line above a chunk of text, should not be confused with the macron, a diacritical mark placed above (or sometimes below) individual letters. In Latin, it indicates Roman numerals multiplied by a thousand and it forms medieval abbreviations ( sigla). The original use in Ancient Greek was to indicate compositions of Greek letters as Greek numerals. In old mathematical notation, an overline was called a vinculum, a notation for grouping symbols which is expressed in modern notation by parentheses, though it persists for symbols under a radical sign.

Type between the braces that Word inserts for you. Note that you can't type the braces by hand. When I tried to type EQ \ac(X,¯) or EQ \o\ac(X,¯) in the backets, I get an error The help menu says to use the \ac command, but I am not sure of the syntax to apply this command. Second, I wish to center align the charter box in the overstrike command (yes I know its the default, but I think that I may have reset the default). I can cut paste what you sent, but "enquiring minds want to know" I remember seeing it somewhere in the character map, but can't seem to find it now (since I will want to make additonal "Y" bar autotext symbols). How did you create the Bar symbol that you used in the overstrike command. Thanks !!! That works great and adds a whole new tool for me to use.
