Printing Special Characters (Less Than/Greater Than or Equal To) in Report Generation Toolkit

[reesl]

Having difficulty printing special characters to Word Documents using the report generation toolkit. I can pass the less than or equal to sign (using the font 'symbol') to the 'Append Text' VI, but it appears as the pound sign in the document.

Does anyone know how to get around this? Am I stuck using <=?

Hello,

You may need to modify the LabVIEW configuration to display the Unicode symbols. Try the instructions listed here.

Didn't quite work... LabVIEW accepted Unicode characters without using the symbol font, but when printing less than or equal to, the Word Document received '  d"  '.

Here is a VI to insert a symbol into a Word document.  The character codes you need for <= and >= are 0x2264 and 0x2265.
