How to search greek alphabets?

Question

I want to insert greek alphabets like theta, beta etc. How i can do it??? I am trying to make a word file just in Microsoft word. I have drawn table but can't find different greek and roman alphabets.

Microsoft Word does not run natively in Ubuntu... are you using Ubuntu? Or any Linux even? — Xen2050, Feb 08 '15 at 03:55

If you just want a few Greek letters (e. g. as formula or unit symbols), you can

open Character Map¹ and choose Greek as the letter system or Unicode block, or
in LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer select Insert > Special Characters from the main menu and choose Basic Greek in the drop down menu. I remember a similar function in Microsoft Word.

Both offer a grid of symbols and glyphs of the Greek alphabet that you can copy and/or insert.

¹ The executable is called gucharmap for the GNOME desktop.

If someone knows the equivalent, default character map applications of KDE, LXDE, or Xfce, feel free to edit my answer. – David Foerster Feb 08 '15 at 15:32
