Using Command-Option-Q in Word, you can input the ASCII code to produce the character that way. I expect you want to place this above a letter, in which case you need to include it in a formula using the Overwrite command. Thus you would enter command-option-backslash (producing the dot-backslash formula character) followed by capital O, followed by the arguments in parentheses separated by a comma. The arguments are the letter and the upside down hat char- acters. Since both "hats" are at the top of the character position, they should be visible above any character you write on top of it. (The last time I gave this advice to the poster who wanted to make pronunciation characters, I tried it at the same time I was writing the reply. It looked fine in Word's page preview. Shirley Kehr
