Thank you both for your help. Upon further search, I found
the OO with breve and macron in the Verdana Ref symbol set
in Publisher - not available (or at least I couldn't
figure it out) in Word. Some of the symbols I'm looking
for I still can't find; to be honest, I believe someone
actually sort of "made up" this particular guide, because
some of these I've never seen anywhere. With your
assistance and that of many other resources I went to,
I've come close enough to satisfy my boss - even though
we're going to have to do a bit of consolidating.
Thank you very much!
Marty
