Default latin letter with accent and macron?

As I said, it depends on what it's supposed to mean.
I had a publisher who wanted a macron over arbitrary letters (vowels) to
denote long vowels, and she settled for the dot below because that was
easier to do in Word.

I don't think any of those would be an acceptable substitute for either a
macron or an acute accent.

You could experiment with the different emphasis marks using the macro
below.

Sub ToggleEmphasisMarks()

' Puts emphasis mark(s) on selected letter(s), or removes them

Const c_Emphasis As Long = wdEmphasisMarkUnderSolidCircle
' other wdEmphasisMark constants to try:
' Const c_Emphasis As Long = wdEmphasisMarkOverComma
' Const c_Emphasis As Long = wdEmphasisMarkOverSolidCircle
' Const c_Emphasis As Long = wdEmphasisMarkOverWhiteCircle

If Selection.Font.EmphasisMark = c_Emphasis Then
Selection.Font.EmphasisMark = wdEmphasisMarkNone
Else
Selection.Font.EmphasisMark = c_Emphasis
End If

End Sub
