    The preferred way with RichEdit is to use the hex code followed by the hot
    key Alt+x, which translates the hex code to the actual character value. For
    example, 1D400 Alt+x inserts a math bold A (although you probably won't see
    this character unless you use the Code2001 font or some other font
    supporting Plane 1). This also works for Word 2002 and later.

    I cannot get this to work with Word 2002 under Windows 2000. I have
    Code2001 installed.

    I have also tried to insert Greek alpha using 03B1 or 3B1, but with no
    success.

    Alt+x does nothing.

    I have looked at all of the Options settings, but I cannot find a relevant
    one.

    Please have you any idea how to make Alt+x work in Word 2002?

    Thank you
