IPA Extensions for Microsoft Word?

[Alison Crutchley]

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.
