Gene
As a mild correction, the Latin alphabet is limited to the 255 characters. Apologies.

In Legacy I can only achieve the diacritics as noted by the special characters on the special characters ribbon. In Word 2007 however, I was able to achieve the long vowels that you mentioned in your e-m. BTW, the small inverted v is called a circumflex accent. Because when you transfer data from Legacy to TNG, you are using GEDCOM, which is limited (just off the top of my head) to the first 128 characters (don’t quote me) whereas the diacritics you require are in the extended characters not recognised by simple text, but is by HTML. That is why you can make the changes on your website but doesn’t transfer correctly because the codes don’t translate.
