IPA
I am working on a paper for a class on first and second language acquisition
and I am attempting to use the International Phonetic Alphabet since I must use these phonetic sounds in my paper. Where can I find them in the Word program in order to be able to use them? |

IPA
All the common phonetic symbols are included in the Unicode set, which you
can find using Insert Symbol. If you need some of the more obscure one you'll need to download and install a font that contains them. Do a Google for sources, or ask your supervisor for a copy of theirs. "chica_dulce12" wrote in message ...

Don't know if they're still available, but I have this link
http://www.sil.org/computing/fonts/Encore-ipa.html. The IPA Extensions character set is represented in most fonts by a single lowercase schwa at 0259, but "large" Unicode fonts such as Arial Unicode MS contain a range from 0250 to 02A8. -- Suzanne S.

Where can I find them in the Word program in order to be able to use them? "SIL IPA" used to work for me as a keyword when I went looking for such fonts a couple of years back. Depending on the version of Office you have, chances are you already have one of the bigger Unicode fonts ("Lucida Sans Unicode" maybe?) on your system where those characters are part of. If you need character codes in Unicode, see http://www.unicode.org/charts/symbol...honeticSymbols HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
