<BR>
so the template from your site works how? <BR>
by clicking on a character on the toolbar and dragging it onto the .doc sheet?<BR>
one character at a time? or am i corn-fused? <BR>
<BR>

I got 2/3 of it, pointy up to the right and a; nasalized hooky thing didn’t make it. <BR>
<BR>
I have it all in one keystroke . . . well, sort of. It’s a template that uses the Office macro function to select the character. . . which depends on the modified font. <BR>
The fonts work on MAC, although I haven’t tested them with anything later than the early versions of OS X. The template also works in MAC, and you could download it from my site at <a href="http://learningforpeople.us/FontsForTribes.htm.">http://learningforpeople.us/FontsForTribes.htm.</a> Two fonts and the tool bar are there. I haven’t tested the toolbar with any of the Open software. It’s a simple Macro that you just dump into a directory, and then point Word to it. Works like any old other template, which means that if your security is too high, Word won’t let you access it.<BR>
<BR>
Oooo, I just noticed the character is complete after I selected “Reply”. In the original input, it was a+pointy+unknown-character-box.<BR>
Hmmm, wonder what that’s all about!<BR>

yours seem to arrive fine on my iMac<BR>
I'm curious since we use many of the same fonts <BR>
can you read this rising "pointy-up-to the-right" over nasalized "a" ---> </SPAN><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:17.0px'>á</SPAN></FONT></FONT><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:17.0px'><FONT FACE="Tahoma">̜</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <BR>

and it sure would be nice to have it all on one keystroke. <BR>

I can install my template right here in the email, and then use it to insert all the characters: ąęįæų (nasals); áéíóú (rising tones with the little pointy-up-to-the-right guy); åëïöü (rt-n) see how they combine the diacritics? Then there are the other specials: ä (The “real” glottal that works as a character); ł (barred l); ń nasalized n, borrowed somehow from the Spanish, I think.
