I regularly type mathematical and Greek characters in Windows 7 and wondered if there was a quick way to insert them (into all types of document, not just MS Office, so the built-in assistant for Office won't apply universally).
I've looked through the character map, although annoyingly the greek characters don't have alt codes (apart from one or two, such as µ). Therefore, I wondered if there was an alternate way or some application that could automate this insertion, since copying and pasting from the character map is far too slow.

Hi,
I regularly type mathematical and Greek characters in Windows 7 and wondered if there was a quick way to insert them (into all types of document, not just MS Office, so the built-in assistant for Office won't apply universally).
I've looked through the character map, although annoyingly the greek characters don't have alt codes (apart from one or two, such as µ). Therefore, I wondered if there was an alternate way or some application that could automate this insertion, since copying and pasting from the character map is far too slow.
All ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks
