Use the Group Symbols to create an EW compound
symbol out of several simple
or compound symbols, or to split an existing compound symbol into its symbol
elements.
When entering EW symbols into a cell, by default, they are written in a left-to-right
order. Using Group Symbols you can create a new compound symbol, which will
be
vertically orientated:
The symbol elements will be ordered from bottom-to-top
or
horizontally orientated:
The symbol elements retain the original left-to-right order, but will be treated
as one compound symbol.
Optionally you can create parentheses around the newly created compound symbol.
Steps
To create a new compound symbol,
select a number of symbols within one cell.
Choose Symbols from the Format menu, then choose Group Symbols. The Group
Symbols dialog appears.
The selected symbols will appear as selected in the Preview cell on the right
side of the dialog.
Choose the Group tab.
Choose the desired orientation: vertical or horizontal.
