As a course author, facilitator or learner you may want to use macrons or other special characters so you can enter words correctly.

On some keyboards you can hold down the vowel you want to add a macron to and it will show options for you to select the right character.  In this case you use the number 8 to select the macron for the a. 

If this doesn't work for you, you may need to set your keyboard up to be able to type using macrons. Below are a couple of links to websites that have instructions on how to do setup and then type using macrons.
