Problem

Symptoms: The Equation Editor will not allow the user to create a capital C with an overline and then a hat above the C. The customer can create the overline C and the C hat but not the three characters together in the proper order. Inside the Equation Editor, the customer tried typing the phrase "overline C hat" and the overline showed above the hat (the reverse of what the customer wanted). This is the way it viewed and printed. The curious part is that when this happened, the WP.DRS file was in use. When the WPSMALL.DRS file was used, the symbol looked correct both in the equation editor and in View Document, but it printed out wrong. KEYSTROKES: ALT-F9, 6, 1, 9, overline C hat, F9. Solutions: The hat is a diacritical so the user can neither adjust the distance between, nor insert another character between it and the parent character. A couple of workarounds may be to use HORZ and VERT commands to get the diacritical in the right place, or to stack the symbols after altering the line space command.
