Diacritical marks
How can I put diacritical marks on Roman characters in Word 2003? It would
be nice to put standard marks indicating pronunciation (as in the dictionary), but I especially need to be able to put dots under characters, e.g. under the rsn in Krsna. These characters are not, as far as I can tell, included in the Insert - Symbol menu. Thanks. |

You can surely find them in a "large" Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS
(if nothing else, you can use the Combining Diacritical Marks). Failing that, see http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Overbar.htm for another approach. -- Suzanne S.

For standard emphasis marks (dots under characters), you could also use the
built-in functions: Selection.Range.EmphasisMark=wdEmphasisMarkUnderSo lidCircle Selection.Range.EmphasisMark=wdEmphasisMarkNone The "Extended formatting" toolbar has a button (DotAccent) to add/remove emphasis marks above characters. There's also a built-in button (CommaAccent) with a nice button face for adding/removing comma accents (´) above letters. I haven't found it in ToolsCustomize, but you can add it to the menu bar with CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls.Add Id:=2806 and then drag it to some toolbar or menu holding down the Alt-key, or drag it off to remove it. (Learned about those commands from Suzanne, btw) Regards, Klaus " wrote: How can I put diacritical marks on Roman characters in Word 2003?

I don't think you learned about them from me because I'm pretty sure I heard
about them from you (and then promptly forgot them). -- Suzanne S.
