How do I insert symbols not in the symbol list?
Arial Unicode MS font contains characters from the IPA Extensions character
subset. I see the schwa but not with a dot, nor the u you describe. You can add dots using an overstrike field; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm. -- Suzanne S.

You can create your own using an Advance fields to combine the base
character with the diacritic. If you have only a few to do, that's probably acceptable -- and you can assign the field sequence to an AutoText entry with a keycode shortcut. Schwa and the under-character dot are certainly in there somewhere; don't know about the inverted u. Alternatively, download and install a phonetic font. "Shawna" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much. The overstrike option did exactly what I wanted it to.

How do I insert symbols not in the symbol list?
Hi, Suzanne
This works great but it leaves a line under the dot. Do you know how to get rid of the line? Thanks. "Suzanne S.

What are you using for the dot? Is Underline formatting selected in the
field? If you can, copy the contents of your field into a message (select the text between the field braces of the field code as seen by pressing Alt+F9). -- Suzanne S.

Yes, I am using the underline and it is underlining the dot also. Ok, I have
it fixed now. Thank you so much. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What are you using for the dot? Is Underline formatting selected in the field?

How do I insert IPA symbols in 2007 Word texts?
Are you using LaserIPA, or something else? If LaserIPA, according to this:
http://www.linguistsoftware.com/liu.htm The version of Uniscribe that ships with Word 2007 (Office 2007) does not support the OpenType Layout Features in the IPA LS Uni font. Letters or symbols without any diacritics may be typed in Word 2007, but diacritics cannot be added. Therefore, Word 2007 does not support this font. If you're using something else that also requires support for OpenType, this might also be the problem. If you're using SIL IPA93, go to this page and Ctrl+F for "word 2007": http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/p...=FontFAQ_IPA93 Otherwise, Google-search ipa and "word 2007". -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "JEphonetician" wrote in message ...

How do I insert IPA symbols in 2007 Word texts?
What font are you using? Times New Roman, which was the default font in
earlier versions of Word, and also Arial, which was widely used in those versions, both contain the IPA Extensions Unicode Character set. Apparently Calibri, the default font in Word 2007, does not include this character set. -- Suzanne S.

How do I insert IPA symbols in 2007 Word texts?
You should download the SIL's Gentium font, which includes the
complete IPA, lots of non-IPA phonetic symbols and odd letters (never before have I been able to type a wynn or a yogh), as well as compatibly-designed characters for Greek, Cyrillic, and Vietnamese. (The only quirk I've found must be a failing in Unicode: for theta and beta, there are no IPA symbols, you have to get them from Greek.)
