Putting a line on top of a vowel elongates its pronunciation, correct? And if so, how do you do this using a standard keyboard?

"In XP, go to the control panel.
click on the regional and language options.
click on the languages tab
click on details
under settings tab go to the Installed Services box
highlight keyboard and click add
check keyboard layout/IME and open the dropdown box and select:
US International
click ok, then apply and ok, then and ok
reboot
their will be a toolbar on computer after the reboot
If you select US International while in a particular app., the keyboard pretty much works the same but you can add accent with left Alt key and ´ and tilde by pressing Shift then ~ and the n. You switch the keyboard settings on the fly."

A line on top of a vowel makes it a hard sound. A(with a line over it) sounds like "A", where as an A without a line over it sounds like "aahhh'. You have to go into the insert section, and insert the symbol that you want.

Note the part about using AutoCorrect in Word.
