greek alphabet, symbols, text tool

I am using the text tool to write labels to photographs, and I need to insert the greek symbol beta (β), but when I paste the symbol from MS Words, it doest not appear (all other, normal letters appear when I paste.

I am using Photoshop 7.0 on a Windows XP PC.

Using the greek beta in Word is simple, just to click on "insert", then on "symbol", and then on the symbol you want.

This is extremely urgent, so I would be very, very happy if someone knows!

Sincerely,
Jens

Try using the Windows Character Map.

Start > Run... > Charmap

What about just selecting the Symbol font in the Text tool, and then hitting the lowercase "b" key?

and make sure the font you choose in photoshop can support that character (character map will let you view by font).
