How to Make Latin Long Marks in Word Documents
Microsoft Word 2003 and newer versions provide built-in support for text in several non-English alphabets, including Cyrillic, Greek, Latin long mark and Old English. You can type Latin long marks directly into a Word document by activating your keyboard's number pad, holding the "Alt" key and typing in a keystroke combination. Each Latin long mark is activated by a different four-digit combination, with distinct codes for lowercase and capital letters.
