How do you display sound-spelling characters in Word? I'm looking for the symbols that represent long and short vowel sounds (straight, and curved dash, respectively), and the means to put those over a vowel.
The terms you are looking for a "macron" (long mark) and "breve" (short
mark). Vowels with these marks can be found in the Latin Extended-A
character set of many Unicode fonts, including the Windows core fonts Times
New Roman, Arial, and Courier New. Insert them using Insert | Symbol or any
of the other methods described in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm
