How do you type in the dash above the 'E' showing it is be sounded as a long
'E' or a short 'e'
 
You'll need to insert the symbol for it.

Insert > Symbol... Then many fonts will have these symbols listed in their
Latin Extended-A font subset.

If there are several of these characters you plan to use on a regular basis,
you could set up a custom shortcut command (perhaps ALT + E) while you're in
the Symbol... menu. That shortcut will work for any font that has a
supporting character.

Cheers
 
All vowels with macrons and breves are found in the Latin Extended-A
character subset of Insert | Symbol. E with macron is character 0112.
