Hi all.
Does anyone know of a good way to write text with an overbar covering more than one letter? For example, for an overbar over one letter 'A' I have been using the command !sA!r!a-!n. What should I do for a single overbar over two letters 'AB'?
I have tried !sAB!r!a-!n and !sAB!r!a--!n, but none give me what I want. Does anyone have any ideas???
Thanks

Thanks Chris and Craig. Both your methods now work, so I can pick and choose which one to use at will!
