If you display the "extended formatting" toolbar, that has a button to
insert emphasis marks.
These marks don't come from the font, so you can use them with any font.
They aren't (EQ) fields, either, BTW.
By default, the emphasis mark is a black dot/circle above the letter
(command "DotAccent").
There's also "CommaAccent" command that inserts a "comma" above any letter
(looking like a curved "grave" accent), which you can add to some toolbar.
With VBA, you can also insert a white circle emphasis mark above, or a dot
below the letter.
Not sure that any of this would work for your purposes though...

You can find vowels with macrons and breves in the Latin Extended-A
character set (I think you've already located these). Accented letters
are
in the same place. For letters with macron/breve *and* an accent, you may
have to experiment with the Combining Diacritical Marks (for these you
may
have to use the Arial Unicode MS font) if you can't find them in Latin
Extended Additional. For other methods of combining characters, see

FWIW, when I was teaching Latin, most beginning textbooks did use macrons
as
an aid to students, but I don't recall ever seeing one that had accent
marks
as well; we were expected to learn the rules for where the accent went.

My wife is taking a latin class and I need to find an answer to this to
keep
peace in the household.
Some latin letters have both a macron and accent above them. I can't
find
a
font letter that has this, found one but accent goes the wrong
direction,
so
does anyone know a way to make this work?
