Long before I had InstantText or ActiveWords, I added a selection of symbols that weren't on the keyboard to AutoCorrect. I still find these useful to have in some situations, so I thought I would publish the list. Others, too, might find it useful sometimes to have a common symbol available in Office from just a double keystroke or a key combo.
