Default how do I put a macron (-) over letters of the alphabet?

Try Ctrl+Shift+~, then press the letter. There is a great MVP paper on this
at
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...tSpecChars.htm.

See KB Article 269750 for other details, including references to the Visual
Keyboard. Note that this may be for Word 2000 but it works in later
versions as well.

Not all the letters of the alphabet in the "Insert symbol" function are
available with macrons (-) over them... is there a method of inserting a
macron over any letter of the alphabet in a similar manner in which one
would, say, type CTRL + ATL +' to insert an acute accent over "e"?
