Technical question: If I copy something in Greek into the forum that uses the "symbol" font in MS Word, is there a way have the Greek letters properly come accross? When I try it, it looks like this:

I figured it out. You have to convert from Symbol font to Unicode. I used this converter and it worked perfectly:

Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but why don't you just use a Greek keyboard?

On Windows, adding one is something like

Control panel => region and language => keyboard and language => change keyboard => add

I don't know the exact labels since I don't use an English system...
