Greek characters

Greek characters are normally entered into a formula using the Symbols dialog (see Chapter 1

Creating & Editing Formulas for more information). However, if you know the name of the Greek

character, you can type a percentage sign (%) followed by the name of the Greek character into

the Formula Editor.

For uppercase Greek characters, type the name using uppercase characters, for example %BETA

(see Table 3 for a full list of uppercase Greek characters). For lowercase Greek characters,

type the name using lowercase characters, for example %beta

(see Table 4 for a full list of

lowercase Greek characters)

Italic Greek characters can also be entered into a formula by typing the character i after the

percentage sign (%) and before the name of the Greek character, for example, %iPI

for

uppercase and %ipi for lowercase

. See Table 5 for a full list of italic uppercase Greek

characters and Table 6 for a full list of italic lowercase Greek characters.

Note

In localized versions of LibreOffice, the names of Greek characters are also localized. If

a document is not localized to the same language, then the names of Greek characters

in the following tables may not work correctly. If this happens, you can use the Symbols

dialog to select the required Greek character. When selected in the Symbols dialog, the

name of the Greek character is displayed at the bottom of the Symbols dialog in the

correct language. See Chapter 1 Creating & Editing Formulas for more information on

Greek characters and the Symbols dialog.
