To type the Not Equal to Symbol anywhere on your PC or Laptop keyboard (like in Microsoft Word or Excel), press Option + = shortcut for Mac. And if you are using Windows, simply press down the Alt key and type 8800 using the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard. A greater than or equal to sign looks like a greater than sign placed over the top of an underscore. Microsoft Word 2007 offers Unicode hex numbers and shortcut key combinations to produce this sign just as it looks in a math book.
