Hi John
If you do an internet search you will find some 10 fonts that are readily
available and free for use that incorporate the macron for both small case
and capital case letters. These are easy to use as the macronised letters
have been mapped to the keyboard characters: alt + vowel for small letters
and alt + shift + vowel for capital vowels. One problem though - hitting
the alt key activates the menu bar of word, excel and access. For word it
is very easy to disable the menu bar being accessed when the alt key is
pressed. Tools/Customise/Options/Keyboard/Common Symbols (Categories Box).
Choose the macronised characters and key in the new keyboard equivalents.
It works a bit like macros. For other programs such as excel and access I
have not been able to find an easy fix so far.
