IPA Extensions for Microsoft Word?

[Alcock, Katherine]

Because the SIL fonts are installed as extra fonts, it is possible to use them straight from the keyboard, too - you set your font to one of the SIL fonts, rather than Times or whatever, and then type a letter.
 
However I have found that most journals seem not to be able to see these fonts when one sends them articles - on occasion, even pdf files seem not to have them at "their end" when I have them at "my end".  If anyone knows of a set of IPA fonts, or a way of rendering them, that means it is possible to get journal articles back without snitty comments from the editor about unreadable symbols, I'd be very happy to know it!

I think it's worth mentioning that the IPA fonts can be downloaded direct from the SIL website and installed as Windows fonts so they come up in 'insert symbol', if simple Word documents are all that is required.

An alternative for Word docs is to use Jan Mulder's Phonmap - it doesn't have all the IPA symbols but is useful for transcribing English:

Peyton,

The most obvious solution is not a Word plug-in, but a Windows system
extension called KeyMan by Tavultesoft.  For
details, go to
 <http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/tools/uniwin.html> http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/tools/uniwin.html
and focus on the packaging of KeyMan created by SIL.

If anyone knows of anything less byzantine than KeyMan, I would love to
know about it.  The system for Mac is much easier
to use.
