That particular file of Suzanne's doesn't include the proper way of
adding a "macron" over an accented letter that doesn't already exist
in the font -- which is to use the "Combining Diacritical Marks"
macron at 0304 (or overbar at 0305 if you need an especially wide
one). Characters in that Unicode range put the mark on the previous
letter (and then Word doesn't treat them as two characters; a single
Left-Arrow moves over the entire accented letter).

For the general discussion of how to insert special characters, seehttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/InsertSpecChars.htm.
Specifically for lines above characters, the lower case vowels with
lines above them are available in most fonts with the following
Unicode character codes:
a = 0101
e = 0113
i = 012B
o = 014D
u = 016B
In Word, you can type the number and press Alt+X to get the character.
If you use them frequently, either assign simipler shortcuts to them
or create AutoCorrect entries, as described in the article.
If you need lines over other letters that aren't already in the font,
seehttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm.
