In Microsoft Word 4.0 how does one go about printing one character over another? More specifically, I want some of my vowels to have macrons (the characters that indicates that the letter is a long vowel) over them, but I do n't know how. I have noticed that command-option-comma, in most character sets, generates the macron mark, but I just can't figure out how to make it appear over a vowel. Doksu Moon dmoon@phoenix.princeton.edu

Read the manual (or help) section on Formulas.
You need Overstrike: Type <cmd-opt>-\ O(char1,char2) You may have to type
<cmd>-Y to view the result.

More specifically, I want some of my vowels to have macrons In a similar vein, is it possible to print a sehwa (it looks like a lower-case, backwards, upside-down "e", used to indicate pronunciation of a certain sound). I'm looking either for a way to create the character using a common font within Word or a font (PostScript or TrueType preferred, bitmapped ok).

Sounds like you need TechPhonetic! It's an ATM Type 1 font with the whole
International Phonetic Alphabet.
