The short answer is that you don't. The longer answer is that you *may* be
able to create a combination of characters using EQ fields, which you could
then use as formatted autocorrect entries.

Under Options > Advanced > Show Document Content, there's a pair of
checkboxes labeled "Diacritics" and "Use this color for diacritics."
Do you know what they do?

(I wonder what, exactly, aswalleh wants the diacritics to do -- make
them the same as the letters? make them different from the letters? in
which alphabets/languages?)
 
Hmmm. There are no such options in my copy of Word 2007 and the only
language I have occasion to use which requires diacritics is Greek. I can
see no way to colour them differently from the associated characters - apart
from that I suggested. However, you are the language expert, what
language(s) is your copy of Word set up for when these options are
displayed?

The only setting up for languages that I have is that various
keyboards are enabled -- at the moment, (in order in the popup) Greek,
English, Syriac, Amharic, Arabic, Oriya, Chinese (Trad), Chinese
(Simp), Tibetan, Mongolian, and BabelStone.

Maybe it refers to the little characters placed alongside Chinese
characters to assist with pronunciation (in Japanese they're called
furigana) -- most often, those extra "typography" features have to do
with Japanese (sort of like headers -- if you've ever turned Japanese
on, they never go away)..

aswalleh's name suggests that he's looking for diacritics in Arabic or
Persian; that might mean the vowel symbols that are usually not used
in writing ordinary text. But we ought to find out whether he wants
diacritics to be the same as or different from the letters!

Do you use Polytonic Greek, or Modern Greek?
 
OK - thanks for that - so it may or may not help the OP :)

Modern Greek - with a Cypriot dialect. I live in Cyprus. I hasten to add
that my command of the language is rudimentary, but sometimes needs must
prevail :)
