Repeating Numbers

Learned how to create equation text today. I was looking to write the number 10.1666666...

This site helped me figure it out.

This is what you do to get that overbar on a 6 (or any number or letter):

{ EQ \O(6,¯) }

What you need to know:

1. Works on MS Word and probably other MS products, but NOT html
2. Typing the brackets {} won't work, you have to hit [Ctrl] + [F9]
3. To get the ¯, you hold down the [Alt] key and type 0175 on the keypad (not the top numbers)
4. The O is the letter O, not the number zero (0)
5. Finally, to toggle between FORMULA look and actual 6 with an overbar, hit [Alt] + [F9]
6. To format the overbar separately from the character, format the ¯ in the formula mode

Not too difficult, but not as easy as "insert symbol".
