Required Integer. The character number for the specified symbol. This value will always be the sum of 31 and the number that corresponds to the position of the symbol in the table of symbols (counting from left to right). For example, to specify a delta character at position 37 in the table of symbols in the Symbol font, set CharacterNumber to 68.
- Font
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. The name of the font that contains the symbol.
- Unicode
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. True to insert the Unicode character specified by CharacterNumber; False to insert the ANSI character specified by CharacterNumber. The default value is False.
- Bias
Type: System.Object%
Optional Object. Sets the font bias for symbols. This argument is useful for setting the correct font bias for East Asian characters. Can be one of the following WdFontBias constants: wdFontBiasDefault, wdFontBiasDontCare, or wdFontBiasFareast. This argument may not be available to you, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you’ve selected or installed.
