How can i type latin characters (vowels with macrons aka horizontal bars) in any Windows program?

Question

I know how i can type latin characters (i mean any ones with macrons) in ms word. I add a shortcut (generally f3 followed by the vowel). Is there any way of doing this for ANY windows program? I've tried using character map but that only allows me to copy things in I actually want to use a shortcut.
