Default Putting an unusual accent over or under or through a letter Putting a hat over a consonant

Much more simply, within any font that's well-stocked with Unicode
characters (such as Tahoma or Gentium), you'll find a group of
characters via Insert | Symbol known as "combining diacritics." (Be
sure you've selected "Unicode" as the coding, and not one of the
"ASCII" options, and a drop-down menu appears at the upper right of
the Insert Symbol panel. They're just before the "Basic Greek" group,
and they have Unicode code numbers 0300 to 0362.) There you'll find a
wide variety of accents (at different heights); double-click the one
you want in order to enter it after the letter that needs the accent,
and Word will treat the accented letter as a unit thereafter.

If by a 'hat' you mean a circumflex accent then if you cannot find a font
with the character included (such as in a language font for a language that
uses such a character) then you can create a combination character using an
EQ field eg { EQ \O(p,^) } or
{ EQ \O(P,{ EQ \S(^) }) }
