How to Use an EQ Field
To insert the field characters (braces) from the keyboard, press CTRL+F9.

The field {eq \o(o,-)} produces an "o" with a line through it.
This part of the field Does this
----------------------------------------------------------------------

eq Tells Word it is an equation field

\o Is the code for overstrike

(o,-) Tells Word to overstrike the "o" with the "-"

You must apply formatting to the '-' character to raise it above the "o". To do this, follow these steps:
1. Select the '-' character.
2. On the Format menu, click Font.
3. Click the Character Spacing tab.
4. In the Position list, click Raised. Click OK.
You can also use horizontal lines of different sizes and vertical positions to supplement the dash and underline characters found on the keyboard. Other line styles include the Times Roman characters 150 (em dash) and 151 (en dash) and the Symbol characters 45 (similar to a keyboard dash, but longer) and 190. The em and en dashes are also available in most standard fonts. The Symbol character 190 is the longest available horizontal line character.

Walt,
thanks for the suggestion!
I tried that, but unfortunately pages only allows -40% spacing which doesn't get the S quite to the center of the T.
Is there a way to move one forward and the other back?
THanks!
