Thanks for the additional info - that helps narrow things down a lot.
As others have offered, the appropriate keystrokes have long been
available
for commonly used special characters, such as ‹ & among others. In fact,
most can be added as buttons on toolbars, but that's just a awkward as
having to go through the menu. However, that doesn't address your original
concern about the errant Symbols listing in the menu. It most certainly
should be there in Word 2008 just as it was in 2004 & X.:-)
To see if we can get it back, go to View> Customize Toolbars & Menus,
Toolbars page. Click on the *name* of the Menu Bar, then click the Reset
button. The menu should be restored when you OK out.
If that doesn't correct it come back for additional suggestions.
