Default How do I overline text to indicate Boolean logical NOT ?

I want to put Boolean equations in a document, and want to use overscored
text to indicate a logical NOT operation. The Word Help suggested
highlighting the text and using the Borders and Shading dialog to apply an
overscore, but when I clicked on the top line button, it activated all 4
buttons and just resulted in the text being surrounded by a box.

Any other suggestions?

I'm using Word 2003 SP 2.

Hi Tony,

You can do this with an EQ field. For details see

Try http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm

But to my knowledge, 'overscored text' does not indicate a logical NOT
operation at all. "~" in front of the symbol does. 'overscored text' is
mostly used to indicate averages.
