U+0300 Combining Grave Accent U+0301 Combining Acute Accent U+0308 Combining Diaeresis You usually will want to de-select all text, and put the cursor at the beginning (Ctrl-Home).1. If the cursor is halfway through the document, it will only convert the text after the cursor. If some text is selected, the macro will run only on that text. On large documents, it may take a few of minutes.īefore running the macro, be aware of where your cursor is, and what text is selected. Now you can go back to Developer | Macros, select that macro, and run it. Make sure you overwrite any code that is already in place. Copy the contents of the macro file in the space where you can type code. You will be in the Visual Basic program at this point. You may have to right click the link above and instruct your browser to "Save link as." Go into your Word document, navigate the menu to Developer | Macros, and create a new macro. The macros are available here: GraecaAndSymbolGreekConversionMacro.txtĭownload the macro text file first. There are probably some combinations of letters and accents that don't work, so buyer beware! Let me know if you have any troubles with it and I can give an assist.
This was tested on the entire book of 1 Timothy and works. Update : More labor resulted in a second macro that does the same for the SymbolGreekII ASCII (1-byte) font. Any Unicode font with Greek support will be able to show the document properly.
This will "future proof" your document so that it will not become unusable in the future due to older fonts becoming unavailable. letters that have a couple of diacritics on them, are transformed into a single unicode character. Another advantage is that multi-character codes, e.g.
The advantage of this is that the old encoding goes away. It takes all GraecaII characters, including accent marks, and converts them to SBLGreek font. If you have older documents that use the GraecaII non-unicode Greek font, you may be interested in a macro that I wrote.
