It's certainly available in my version of Word 2007.

Where did that second tab of Insert Symbol -- the one with the various
spaces and dashes and such -- go in 2007?

I don't doubt that it's available _somewhere_. But it does not show up
as a tab behind the Insert Symbol grid.

The Special Characters tab appears in the Symbols dialog in my copy of Word
2007. Are you actually opening the dialog via More Symbols...? I get the
same result from the Insert Symbol button I've added to the QAT.

It's there -- but because it's usually open, I keep it way up top with
the unneeded stuff off the top of the screen.
But it's very strange that you can't get to it from the Ribbon, since
it's where the stuff they think people actually use is kept.
Now that I'm trying to make the 16 tables to go with the 92 sources in
my article, I'm finding out how much more tedious it is to do a table
in 2007. (1) _One_ thing that's needed in every new table, borders, is
on the "design" tab instead of the "layout" tab; but why should the
"design" tab stay there at all after the design has been assigned?
(Which I would never do from one of their built-ins anyway).

Hi Peter,
Insert=>Symbols [down arrow]=>More Symbols should bring up the dialog with the 'Special Characters' tab. That tab isn't one used as
often as you might think in a broad spectrum of Word users.
For tables, not everyone does the design first, it's often added, or changed, once the content is correct.
The 'Borders and Shading' dialog is also available in the right click menu when you're in the table.
============

I would agree. I have keyboard shortcuts assigned to em and en dashes and em
and en spaces and use Word's built-in shortcuts (or AutoCorrect) for the
rest. About the only time I ever even visit that tab is to check on
something for a user.

People who frequently use the section sign (legal secretaries) or euro
(Europeans) undoubtedly have assigned keyboard shortcuts that they can
easily remember, or there may even be key assignments (I believe the euro is
on the keyboard in some configurations). And keep in mind that the Symbol
dialog, in its origins, long antedates the euro and its symbol.

_Someone_ felt that that particular selection of characters should be
separately accessible (without memorizing a bunch of very similar
keyboard shortcuts for the wide variety of hyphens and spaces any one
of which might occur quite rarely). Yet they didn't include such
frequently used items as section sign. (Or even euro.)
