How can I use the graphics for some discourse features available in visual filters for academic writ

I'm a practitioner in pragmatic grammar and discourse analysis. How can I use the graphics for some discourse features available in visual filters for academic writing? To clarify, I'm referring to the symbols for point-counterpoint, tail-head linkage, changed reference, etc. and would like to apply those in a separate word document.

Welcome Esteban.

To clarify, I'm referring to the symbols for point-counterpoint, tail-head linkage, changed reference, etc. and would like to apply those in a separate word document.

I guess I'm not sure of your need. For example, in a discourse'd Bible, and as an example of a complicated structure (Mat 5:13), from the resource panel, you'd select Print/Export, and then choose a Word document. The result in Word shows the same symbols (plus some extraneous).

Personally, that might be a starting point, but formatting directly in Word is easier.

My solution is crude -- brute force. I create a legend in Word into which I have copied the symbols from the documentation -- much easier than hunting down the unicode numbers. Then in Word, rather than use the insert symbol function, I do a copy and paste - leaving the legend open at the upper left of my screen. I went that route after finding my normal top symbols list was destroyed when using a more specialized set.
