Adding symbols: "Greater than or equal to" and "Less than or equal to"
Hi, does anyone know how I can type these symbols in a slide? I have tried copying/pasting from Word but that isn't working. I don't know where the symbol is on the symbol chart (Insert/Symbol).

I'm now having a problem with this.
I can't find it in the mathematical operator section and if I type in the ASCII decimal code it just brings up a blank space (tried for Arial and Times New Roman). I have definitely used this character before, but now it doesn't seem to be there?
Any help much appreciated!

There is no 'Mathematical Operators' in the subset list when font is selected as Arial however there is with Times New Roman.
I can't see a greater than or less than sign and entering the Character code 2264 as per Alyssa's diagram above doesn't return anything.
I see you have the greater than equal to in your recently used, when you click that does it insert it correctly onto the slide?
Hi Wendy
Thanks for replying.
If I use the greater than or equal to then yes that inserts correctly.
I have definitely used both symbols before - I wonder if they disappeared in a recent update.
Emma,
You might consider just entering the > or < symbol on your keyboard and then underline the respective character.
Hi Steve
Thanks for replying and great workaround. I also managed to copy and paste in from Word for now. Just curious as to where they've gone!
Hi Emma,
If, when you select Insert Symbol, you also select Symbol as your font, you will find the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" symbols available for selection under the Latin Supplement subsets:
