A quick question, anyone know the proper turnstile character (either in code, or how to get it in Word)? It looks like a capital T turned 90 degrees anticlockwise, sans-serif.

H'lo Frankie.
In WordXP:
- Go to the Insert menu.
- Select Symbol.
- Font should be set to "(normal text)". Change the Subset to Arrows.
- You'll find it in there. It's Unicode character 251C.
Hope that helps. If you need to know how to find it in Word98, let me know; I'll need to go another lab to hunt that up, though.

From old DOS, we used to play with the pipes to make a sort of text based UI.

Well I found the character. But it still doesn't look quite right. I think the horizontal bar ought to be longer... (like a true 'T' turned on its side).

Depending on what this document/page is, Frankie, maybe it would be better to just insert a small graphic of the character you want instead? This way you could design it how you like. Or do a text box with the writing aligned vertically and do a true sideways T in a sans-serif font...

Don't think I can be bothered to go to that much effort. It's just a distraction from the 'real' work of completing the actual assignment (on 'formal logic').

FYI:
(¬(P^R)->S), (R->¬¬Q), ¬¬S |- (P ^ Q)
