Setting “/_” to turn into the angle symbol

(Note: “/_” is set to turn into the angle symbol in my Normal.dot.)

1. In Microsoft Word, go to “Insert” → “Symbol...”
   
2. Select the “Symbol” font in the “Font” drop-down menu, scroll down to the angle symbol, and click the “AutoCorrect” button.
   
3. In the “AutoCorrect” window, type “/_” in the “Replace:” box (the “With:” box should have the angle symbol in it), click “Add”, and then click “OK”.
   
4. You can now type “/_” at any point in your document to get the angle symbol.

• You can use this for other symbols by selecting the other symbol, clicking on “AutoCorrect”, and typing something else in place of “/_”. For example, I like to use “/-\” for triangle, and “_|_” for perpendicular.
