I can identify the vowels and the macron in the Windows Unicode
and the Windows Western character maps.

I cannot find anything in the help file, or on the web, to
explain how to combine these two units to created a macronised vowel.

Can someone explain how to do it ?

I can't recall how.. But I have a macro here I can send - could direct you
to the University of Waikato website which has it, but it's password

Use Windows Unicode, not Windows Western.

The macronized vowels can be found in the Windows Unicode character map.

macronized Unicode Unicode
vowel (hex) (decimal)
---------- ------- ---------
Ä€ U+0100 256
� U+0101 257
Ä’ U+0112 274
Ä“ U+0113 275
Ī U+012A 298
Ä« U+012B 299
Ō U+014C 332
� U+014D 333
Ū U+016A 362
Å« U+016B 363


If you are using Microsoft Office, this link will tell you how to
enter Unicode characters using the hex code.

Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.

If you are using Microsoft Office there is the Maori Keyboard add on which
lets you insert a macron above upper and lower case letters:
