    Microsoft Word does not run natively in Ubuntu... are you using Ubuntu? Or any Linux even? – Xen2050 Feb 08 '15 at 03:55

If you just want a few Greek letters (e. g. as formula or unit symbols), you can

  • open Character Map¹ and choose Greek as the letter system or Unicode block, or
  • in LibreOffice and OpenOffice Writer select Insert > Special Characters from the main menu and choose Basic Greek in the drop down menu. I remember a similar function in Microsoft Word.

Both offer a grid of symbols and glyphs of the Greek alphabet that you can copy and/or insert.

¹ The executable is called gucharmap for the GNOME desktop.
