pi (3.14159) in Word

I have Word ver. 10.2627.2625 I can't find the symbol for pi. Does anybody know where it is or where I can find it?

Hi lobsterclaw,

Is it not under the Insert > Symbol menu?

I have looked. I have even looked under different font. There are fraction symbols, plus minus and other various math signs but no pi.

Try running charmap - I found a pi symbol in Times New Roman in there, you can copy it to clipboard and paste into anything.

windows key + r > charmap > Times New Roman. I can't find it. I will try looking in some other fonts.

heh - it pastes as a ? here but as a perfect pi in Word, trust me. I'm running Win2K and it defaults to Unicode.
