The >name of the package is "comprehensive". Dear friends, George N. White III mentioned package "comprehensive", see above, as a way of getting lots and lots of mathematical symbols. I have tried to install the package with the Package Manager. Six files were downloaded as detailed in the Package Manager Window but I am not sure as to whether the package was properly installed. Anyway when I run the following latex file \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{comprehensive} \begin{document} Hello. \EndDoc I get the diagnostic LaTeX Error: File 'comprehensive.sty' not found. I am using the most recent update of MiKTeX 2.7. Can someone help? I need to use a special symbol in a book contribution. Thank you in advance. ------------------------------- Andreas Antoniou Professor Emeritus Dept. of Elec. & Comp. Eng. University of Victoria P. O.
