Em.....

I am having trouble looking for a solution to insert combination notation in Microsoft Word.

I have been searching over the internet but i found no solution.

Does any of you know how to insert that notation?

Most importantly, i want to type the 'n'. I know to insert the 'C' and 'r'.

thanks in advance.

try insert symbol.. what do u mean c and r?? u mean these © ®??

Do you remember, in mathematics statistics, we learn a chapter which is known as Permutation and Combination.

In combination, we use n, C, r.

In permutation, we use n, P, r.

I am having trouble typing the 'n'.

Press ALT+252 ⁿ << here.

thanks for the reply.

sorry, i cannot understand.

Hold down 'Alt' and press 252 one-by-one?
It doesn't give me anything.

how about the small n?

Hold down ALT and press 252 and let go of the ALT afterwards. After you did that it will show up this > ⁿ

brother, it doesn't work. After i had pressed those buttons, Undo option poped up only.

btw, i am using Microsoft office 2007.

May be different from what u r using?

are you on a laptop or desktop? it must be done on the numpad.

on a laptop. will try it now.

Thanks.

It doesn't work.

I am on laptop, even if i turn on the Num Lock, i still can't get that symbol.

i held down 'Alt' and press 252 then release Alt. What i got is a question mark.

1) click on the Insert tab
2) click on Equation
3) click on Script and you should see what you are looking for

1. Type nCr
2. Highlight 'n', press "Ctrl + Shift + +" or the 'superscript' button (the place with the bold, italic and underline)
3. Highlight 'r', press "Ctrl + =" or 'subscript'

What version of Word? Just use the sub and super scripts... or the equation function which will easily allow you to type nCr

brother, it works in normal typing mode.

but, it doesn't work in equation mode.
I am typing mathematics. The style of fonts is based on equation mode.

the problem is the 'n'.

U try it yourself, it won't work.

Click the Insert tab and click Equation/the 'pi' symbol.
From the Script menu, no one script is suitable for me to type the 'n'. I am just able to type the C and r.
No equation function is suitable also.

For normal typing, it works.
But, i am typing in equation mode. It doesn't work.

I think because you are not using a keypad? Alt keys can only be used with keypads .

You can always type our normally and set your font to cambria + italic xD

Equation ... what I did was I picked the 2nd one (the one with the subscript) then in the place where the "C" goes, I clicked left subscript-superscript. Not exactly the perfect one ... but it works?

thanks. U are smart.
