Orthography in MS Word

[Ian Robertson]

Hi John,

I just use the simultaneous key combination control-shift-: followed by
whatever vowel I want. This should already be set-up in Word--or at least it
was in my latest installation (years ago I think I had to do some
key-mapping to get this to work...)

Best, Ian

I am in the process of making decisions about an orthographical system to
use for writing modern náhuatl. I would like to use a macron to show long
vowels, but Microsoft Word is not very friendly on this account. Does
anybody know of a special font or a command in Word which allows one to put
a macron over a vowel?
