Installing Tongan Keyboard Macros
A second method
After starting Word for Windows version 6.0 (or 7.0) follow the below instructions to install the Macros for simplifying your keyboard entry of accented characters/letters.
To install the Keyboard Macro:-
- Open the Keyboard.dot file in Word
- Select the Tools menu and then the Macro command
We want to make add the new keyboard macros to your Word program
- From the Dialog box, select the Organizer button
- In the "Organizer" Dialog box, you should have two lists
One list is titled Keyboard.dot
The other list should be titled Normal.dot
- Highlight the TonganKeyboard under the Keyboard.do list.
This tells word, that the next action you will make is related to this name.
- Select copy>> to copy the macro into your Word for Windows settings.
You have now copied the macros so you can use it all the time.

To Use The Macro
The Quickest way to start the Macro is to
- Close the keyboard.dot file
- Select the Tools menu and then the Macro command
So we can get at the macro
- Highlight the name of the macro (TonganKeyboard)
- Click the Run button
(or you can just double click on the macros name)
Also…
- The macro will add "Tongan Keyboard" to the "Tools" menu, so to execute the command again, all you have to do is pick the "Tools", "Tongan Keyboard" menu.
- You can add the Macro command to the Toolbar to make using it easier.
To turn the Tongan Keyboard settings ON, select the Tongan Keyboard menu.
To turn the Tongan Keyboard settings OFF, select the Tongan Keyboard menu, again.
Typesetting TIP:
I have observed that It is informally recognised that the correct "fakau’a" for the Tongan language should always be typeset as or "6 Rabbit ear". To ensure that you always get the correct rabbit ear, make sure you have turned off Word’s Smart Quotes facilities. This can be found in the menu Tools, AutoCorrect, Smart Quotes.
