Does anyone know how to type the statistical symbol for mean, "X" with a bar over it, in Word? I've seen it many times in text but can not locate it in Microsoft Word. I don't have the option to change to its arithmetic symbol, the Greek letter "", as I am referring to a formula containing the specific statistical symbol.

This is how you do it
