I can't imagine that a dot below would mean the same thing to Latin students
as a macron above, especially if the latter is what they're seeing in their
textbooks, but I'll accept your suggestion as one that worked for you.

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.
