I have tried "Insert" and "Symbol" through the menu bar, but the symbol is
not there. I found it odd that the symbol for the short "e" would be there,
but not double "o".

I am attempting to provide a pronunciation key for the word "refuse" (as in

but I cannot find a symbol for the long double "o" sound in "-use". I am
using Microsoft Word 2000 Professional.
