Symbols: denoting "long" or "short" vowel sounds
David
I'm using Word 98 for Mac.
I'm trying to find or create the symbols that go over vowels to denote
a "long" or "short" vowel sound.
Thanks,
David

If no one here can direct you precisely, go to the Key Caps utility - OS 8/9
it's in the Apple Menu, in OS X in Applications/Utilities. Try different
fonts (especially odd ones like Symbol) and variously hold down option,
shift and option-shift keys. Take a special interest in any proper-looking
symbols in etched outlines: they will work on all characters if you press
the correct key combo first, then the letter which needs the diacritic.

currently), the macron (¯) is produced by option-shift-comma and the
upturned semicircle ˜ is produced by typing option-shift-period.
Both of these can be combined with the vowel character into composite
characters by
1. Type space,vowel, symbol, space
2. Select the vowel, choose Format/font. In the character spacing tab, set
spacing to condensed by about 5 points depending on font. You may have to
raise or lower the symbol by selecting it and adjusting the position
parameter in the Format/Font/character spacing dialog.
3. Select both characters (tricky since they're now overlapping) and choose
tools/autocorrect, and give them an autocorrect character sequence, like
(i). Be sure to click on the Formatted text radio button then, whenever you
type (i), the composite symbol will be substituted.
