We address annumber of clients "Care Of" another company. I usually use the
% sign. It looks a little like c/o. I have a client complaining about the %
sign. Any ideas?

Why don't you make it out of a comibination of superscript c, / and subscript
o. If you copy this combination and click on Tools -> Autocorrect you can
make up your own autocorrect keystroke e.g. *c/o which can be set to give you
your stored symbol. Make sure you put the bullet beside 'Formatted Text' so
it does the superscript and subscript for you.

You could also just create a macro for your toolbar or keyboard with the
typed c/o and then it would be just a keystroke when you wanted to use it. I
hope this has been helpful to you.

Use Insert | Symbol to insert Unicode glyph 2105 (in the Letterlike Symbols
character subset). I have also created an AutoCorrect entry to convert c/o
to this symbol.
