How can I insert a permanent line above a typed character in Word
Hi John,
Are you talking about inserting a "long mark" over a letter, such as 'Ā'? If so, what you are doing is inserting a different character. You can do this by going to Insert | Symbol and selecting the symbol. If you are using a symbol often, you can assign a hot-key to that symbol (though I would advise against overwriting a "standard" hot-key; for example, do not assign anything to CTRL-S as that is the standard hot-key for 'save'). Another shortcut is to know the Unicode "UTF-16" decimal value of the symbol. If you know this, you can insert the character in Word by holding the right-ALT button, then typing '0' then the three digit code on the numeric keypad (that is, the numbers on the right of your keyboard, not the top). For example, the code for 'Ā' is 256, so to get this character in Word, hold right-ALT and press '0256.' Incidentally, you can also get the character in HTML buy entering Ā but changing '256' for the code for the symbol. You can look up all the Unicode symbols at http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm.
