Creating Unicode IPA word processing documents: Input methods

(details)

Windows 2000

  • “Insert…Symbol”

  • In Word, use AutoCorrect to replace something like \barredi\ with ɨ. A macro that adds these entries is available for download.

  • Seriously consider saving your document as RTF.

Mac OS X

  • In TextEdit, use the “Unicode Hex” input method. Hold down the Option key and type the hexidecimal code for the character (the code chart is downloadable).

Other input methods are also possible.
