Dear All, When writing text, I use the double-vertical line symbol in the Complete Characters / Operational / Relational palette as a "norm" symbol. I place it on either side of a vector to denote the norm of that vector. It is much shorter than the conventional notation, so I scale it up using Alt and +. When writing my thesis, this will become tedious. Can I define the scaled-up version as a new character and use it instead ? Many thanks, Simon Cowell.
