International Phonetic Alphabet (keyboard)
I am enrolled in a Linguistics class, and we have to type International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols onto our assignments. I found a website where you can copy/paste IPA symbols..unfortunately when I email the microsoft word attachment to my professor, some of the symbols don't show up when she opens the document. I think the only way to go would be to download IPA font onto my computer, but I even tried doing that but got confused...
any ideas? does anyone know of a standard IPA font that I can download onto word, and that can be read from any computer? Thanks

If you can see them on the website where you can copy and paste the symbols, then you already have a font that is capable of displaying them.
After pasting the symbols into Word, change the font to "Lucida Sans Unicode" or "MS Mincho" (depending on which one you have - most Windows machines have at least one of those). Those fonts definitely do have the symbols required.
If you really need a new font, the International Phonetic Association offers fonts on this page: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
These fonts definitely have all the IPA symbols. You probably don't really need them anyway, but here they are.
Another suggestion is to export your assignments to PDF. This can be done with OpenOffice.org or this site: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
That way, even if your professor doesn't have the font that you're using, it'll still work. (This shouldn't be happening anyway, but here's another option for you.)

If you can see the IPA characters in Word when you paste them, then the font you are using supports them. I think the problem is that her version of Word is too old. Try saving as "Rich Text Format" instead of "Word Document". Then have her open that file in Wordpad instead of Word.
