Use the Symbol font. For example, to type the Greek letters for Alpha Delta Pi, use the following, only remove the *

[font=symbol*] ADP [/*font] or ADP

Good luck!

I did that too and it doesn't work for me, so the hell with it! Why can't they just make it like it is in word!

Stop trying to be grown and just cut and paste the examples that they provided on page 1. Just replace their letters with KAY.

Symbol doesn't always work! All of the Greek letters posted here (and ribbons, for that matter), I can't see 'em. But I can see the letters in my signature. I have the Symbol font installed on my computoy too, so that's not it--I think it varies between browsers. For example, when you see Alpha, Phi, and Omega, I see AFW.

There's a trick. Every font has tons more characters than you think. (My letters are actually in the "Georgia" font.) Go to Character Map and scroll a lot. There's a Greek alphabet hidden in there, I promise.

However, because I'm fantastic and generally awesome, I'm gonna copy and paste for y'all!

ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΞΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ

I think this should work on Macs too--I don't know, I don't have my MacBook with me right this second.

I had to do it in word and copy and paste. I seem NOT to have "symbol" font in my drop down.

Ribbons are probably windings or webdings.. something like that
