phonetic symbols in Word For Mac 2011

[Caroline Bowen]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

Neither Apple nor Microsoft have been able to help me with a problem I have
with phonetic fonts. I have an old PC that I have had since 2009, and a new
Mac. The PC has Office 2007 running Word 2007, and the MacBook Pro has
Office For Mac 2011. 

The difficulty I have is with the Mac. In Word For Mac 2011 there is no
provision to insert DoulosSIL fonts from a dropdown menu like the one in
Word 2007. I have downloaded the DoulosSIL font family, and they work
perfectly on the Mac (e.g., if I open a document created on the PC). 

Have you encountered this problem, and do you have any idea how to configure
Word For Mac 2011 to do the Insert > Symbol manoeuvre with the phonetic
fonts, including diacritics? 

Alternatively, how do you make Word For Mac 2011 "do" phonetics?

Best wishes,
Caroline
