Putting Phonemic Script into Word

1. IPA Typewriter
The easiest way to put phonemic script into a Word doc is to use the IPA Typewriter. You
simply use the on screen phonemic script keyboard and then cut and paste the script into
Word.

2. Adding Phonemic Symbols directly from Word
You can also input phonemic characters directly from Word if you have one of the
following fonts installed (most modern computers have them):
Lucida Sans Unicode
Arial Unicode MS
Doulos SIL Unicide
To check if you have them (and to add phonemic script in Word) follow the following
steps:
Insert Symbol Font (use the drop down menu to locate and select one of the
fonts above) Scroll down the characters until you find the phonemic ones.
If you dont have them, you can download them from here:
Doulos SIL (for Windows and Mac) - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?
