Go to Insert Symbol. Set the font to Times New Roman (or Arial
Unicode, or Tahoma, ...) in the drop-down at the upper left. Then, in
the upper right, go to Latin-Extended A, where you will find vowels
with macrons (long marks), and two of the Sanskrit s-symbols. Go to
Latin Extended Additional (much farther down in the list), and you
will find all the dotted letters you need.
You can assign a keyboard shortcut to each of the accented letters you
need -- be sure to do it systematically so that you can remember the
keystrokes. There's a button for that at the lower left of the Insert
Symbol panel.
For instance, for all letters with macron, I use Ctrl-Alt-hyphen
followed by the letter, and for all underdotted letters I use Ctrl-Alt-
period followed by the letter. (Capital and lower-case for each one.)
And then, you need to convince your professors at Turin to enter the
21st century, and abandon the old Pali Times Ameco font!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
With Ctrl+V I can copy the word and then in Find Box I find the word that I
wanted.
But in the Find Box the typefaces are so different. They are the typefaces
appearing with Times New Roman.
I'm interesting to solve my problems with pali and sanskrit characters in
roman translation, as "grammatim" said to you. How Can I do?Thanks!

You should be able to use the same keyboard shortcuts in the Find dialog. Or
you can copy a character and paste it into the Find dialog using Ctrl+V.. Or
you can get the Unicode number of the character by selecting it and pressing
Alt+X (Alt+X again to toggle back) or by selecting it and going to the
Symbol dialog, where it will be selected, and noting the Unicode number.. You
can then use this in the Find dialog by entering ^uxxxx (though I find that
this doesn't always work).

Thanks for your time.
The Font is in Windows Fonts Folder and I can print a document with this
special typefaces. I can add Symbol as you said and this surprised me for
I
posted my question here.
Maybe I was unclear.
In a Word Page if I want to put a special typeface from Pali Times Ameco I
choose the typeface and then I have to use a special combination of keys.
Ctrl+ or Ctrl+Alt+.
When I want to find a word with this typefaces I don't know how I have to
write this character in the Find Box.
I followed your hints but If I follow Find-More-Format I can change the
typeface but I don't know how I can insert the special typefaces.
Please, help me!

If the font is installed (in the Windows Fonts folder), and the active

it
in any Font dialog or dropdown. Can you see it in the Symbol dialog
(Insert
| Symbol | More Symbols...)?

I can't paste it in the Find box.
In Format I can't choose the Font.
What can I do?
Thanks!
You can Copy the word you're looking for (if necessary, type it in
your document, copy it, and delete it) and Paste it into the Find box.
If the script is one encoded in Unicode, you probably won't need to
specify the font, but if it's Pali specifically, it's coded either as
some other Indic script, or in the Private Use Area, or as a-zA-Z, and
you should also choose the font as Suzanne explained.-
