Symbols in MS Word (can't find the one I want)

TSR

I'm trying to find a specific symbol to insert into a Word document I'm writing about a book set in Japan. I can't find it in any of the symbols included with my copy of the program.

The symbol would be the letter "a" with a flat line over the top, like the one in this word over the o - "Rōmaji"

How can I do this? If someone would be kind enough to simply find this symbol and then enter it into a reply, I could then copy that over into Word and use it from there.

Thanks for any help any of you can provide.

There you go: ā

EDIT: I don't know where to find it on Windows. I'm on Mac OS X and it's right there in my character "palette".

Thank you!

Someone can mark this "solved."

BTW, in Windows, the place to look for this kind of thing is the Character Map (Start --> Run... charmap)

This will bring up all of the characters a font can produce. You can then select any character you want and copy it to the clipboard.

(According to the character map, that line thing is called a Macron. Learned something new today )
