I'm not sure I understand well what you want to do, but there is a way to have a word and it's transcription at the same place. To get this function go to Tools > Options > Languages settings > Language and activate Asian. Then in the Format menu, select Asian phonetic guide. In the Base text field, you write the 'normal' word, in the Ruby field the different word. The area below let you choose where to put the Ruby text. Note that Ruby is also a style that you can modify. Don't know if that helps. You can also build your own list of words, but that will appear as a dictionary for spell checking.
