(If the window with character set blocks the text, emergence of a root can and be not noticed).

2. Search of a square root can be accelerated if to choose in the field "set": line "mathematical symbols". For display of the complete list of available symbols, in the field "from" establish "Unicode (shestn.)". If the code of a root square is known to you, then insert it into the special field: "Code of the sign". If it is not known, then you can write down: "221A" or "221a" (letter "A" - English).

For this purpose select menu items: An insert – the Object – Microsoft Equation 3.0. In the opened editor of mathematical formulas it will be possible both to put a root of any degree, and to gather difficult subradical there is no vyrazheniyeesla of the Microsoft Equation 3.0 point, this option means it is not established. For its installation insert an adjusting disk with a MS Office package which includes the Word program and start installation.
