How to insert a greek symbol like "alfa" and "beta" in Pages 5.0

How do I insert a greek symbol like "alfa" or "beta" in Pages 5.0

The same way you would in any other OS X app... there are various keyboard shortcuts for common letters (e.g. Ω is 'alt-z'), but if you are not sure what they are there are two quite simple solutions. 
Both require you go to "Keyboard Prefernces" in "System Preferences" on your computer and put a tick in the box "Show keyboard and character viewer in menu bar".
Once you have done this, you get an extra menu item that gives you access to two OS X utilities - "Character Viewer" and "Keyboard Viewer"
Character viewer opens a window that allows you to look for specific characters, copy them and paste them into your document.  It is very powerful, and probably overkill for what you want.  But worth knowing about.
Keyboard viewer is a floating window that shows you what OS X thinks each key will produce when you type it.  It adjusts itself to match whatever language / keyboard you are using, and shows immediately the effect of pressing the adjuster keys.  Here is the viewer showing what happens when you press the alt key...
HTH...

  • How can I use Greek symbols in a text in Pages? Greek symbols are not in the special character list.

    How can I use Greek symbols in a Pages text? Greek symbols are not included in the special character collection.
    I need to import for example a sigma from Word or Adobe illustrator and then Pages can recognise it. I can not find it from within Pages.

    Special character palette from the edit menu does have sigmas under European ... > Greek ...
    You can do a search at the bottom of the Special Character palette. Double click on the greek capital letter sigma. You will get a lot of sigmas.

  • Anyone using Mr Site Pro website software on their iMac, if so how di insert the copyright symbol into my home page?

    I am trying to insert the copyright symbol into the home page of my website, I am using Mr Site Pro software, on windows it is 0169 but this does'nt work on the imac, can anyone help?

    Or you can try option (alt or ⌥) + G to type ©.
    For future reference, enable the keyboard viewer;
    System Preferences > Language and Text > Input Sources tab. Top of the left column, tick (check) "Keyboard and Character Viewer", Bottom of window next to search field, tick "Show input menu in menu bar"
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab; tick "show keyboard and character viewers in menu bar"
    All the standard diacritical marks and common symbols can be accessed directly from the standard keyboard. ü is produced by pressing alt (option) + U, release them and type U. Similarly é is alt+e, followed by e.
    If you open Keyboard Viewer and press the alt (option) key, the location of the marks will be revealed. Note that five of them are highlighted in orange; these are the ones which can be used with multiple  letters (acute, umlaut, gràve, circumflex and tilde)
    Shift+Alt will show more.
    These are the results of holding down option and shift+option for a standard UK keyboard (US is similar, but a few keystrokes are reversed)

  • HT1296 How do I transfer itunes information like music and contacts on my work computer to my personal laptop?

    I'm moving job locations and need to transfer my itunes information on my work PC like contacts and music, etc, to my personal laptop to continue using itunes there exclusively.  When I try to sync my iphone to my laptop a message says everything on my iphone will be erased.  Is there a way to accomplish what I want to do without erasing all my stored information?

    Copy all of the iTunes folder from your computer to a storage device, i.e. USB drive, etc. Copy that information to the new computer. Once you connect the phone ot the new computer and go to sync, it will warn you that you are synced to a different library. Since you have the content there, it will erase it but then sync it back. When it comes to your contacts and calendar, you will need to make sure you have a supported application on the laptop you want to use, such as Outlook, Address book. If it is the first time that you have synced to the laptop, then make sure whatever program that you use for calendars and contacts, you have a unique appointment and contact so it will trigger the merge command so you do not lose your current contacts and calendar.

  • How to insert check mark symbol on ipad

    I use the Apple keyboard/charger w/ iPad2, and wondering if there's a way to insert a check mark symbol in Notes either w/ the hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard

    I don't see a checkmark on the touchscreen keyboard, even by holding down on the keys to bring up the optional symbols. You can go here and copy and paste. You have to go onto this site while using the iPad. You could bookmark it for easier access.

    You may find this a useful reference for the touchscreen keyboard as well.

  • How to insert Definite Integral symbol?

    Hi there, I'm trying to input a definite integral symbol where I can type in the lower and upper limits. I've only found the basic integral symbol under edit > special characters.
    Thanks!

    orikie
    As has already been pointed out there is no difficulty obtaining a definite integral sign if you use MathType.
    In fact, when you click on the appropriate symbol in MathType's packed toolbar you will discover that most types of definite integrals are catered for - not just the simplest: (in words) the integral of F(x)dx from x equals a to x equals b.
    As for the positioning of the limits, you can adjust their vertical positions relative to the integral sign by experimenting with Sizes. NB assign everything whose sizes you dont to vary to a size assigned as per "Other" Also, if you wish, you can also move them sideways to suit.

  • When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
    This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
    (td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
    **I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

    Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
    What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
    "How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
    <b>**********Solution*********</b>
    Download the file:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
    Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
    Install the font that was downloaded.
    <b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
    I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.
