How to input English phonetic symbols in Word

How to enter the English phonetic alphabet in word? Very simple and easy to use

Inputting English phonetic symbols on the keyboard in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint has always been a headache for many people. Word has not provided a solution. Many people think of inserting special characters, but it is difficult to find all 48 international phonetic symbols and it is very complicated to use. Some others choose to use Jinshan's image library for pasting, the problem is that it cannot be well integrated into the article for changes in size, color, and shape. Now, there is a way to solve this problem. I hope to provide some help to English teachers, students, and other friends who are engaged in specialized purposes. This method is the easiest method at present. You only need to install the gwipa Library specially designed for Chinese users to enter international phonetic symbols, then, when using word, you can easily enter the phonetic alphabet like switching other fonts (such as Arial And wingdings!
Now, we will install and use the following steps:
1. First download the gwipa International Phonetic Alphabet Library (up to 19 KB)
Click to download-> gwipa. TTF

2. Copy the gwipa. TTF file to the \ windows \ fonts directory on the system disk to complete the installation;
Step: Click Start in the lower left corner of the Computer ----- search for Windows ----- open the windows folder, find the fonts folder, click it, and copy gwipa. TTF.
3. How to use it after the installation is complete:
First, open the Word document, find the "gwipa" font in the font toolbar, and then press the Caps Lock key on the keyboard to try it. We will find that when you enter the uppercase letter status, the document has been automatically converted to the corresponding International Phonetic Alphabet. In addition to switching with Caps Lock, you can also press the Shift key and the sequence key under normal conditions, or output the desired phonetic alphabet.
The following is a comparison of the 26 English letters converted into an International Phonetic Alphabet on the keyboard:

Note: The "secondary accent" and "Accent" in the International Phonetic Alphabet correspond to the "Semicolon" and "quotation marks" in the punctuation respectively ".
The comparison table above seems complicated. In fact, you only need to use five times to fully adapt to this input method.
Q: Can I use this method to send files containing phonetic symbols to others via email, QQ, and MSN?
A: No! Unless the library is installed on his computer! Otherwise, the phonetic symbols cannot be displayed normally, including posting them to the website. But you can print it out for use. If you must pass it to the other party for use. You can: transfer the file and tell the other party the URL to install the gwipa library. Or:
Converts a phonetic symbol to an image.
Open the drawing software (or other drawing software), select text input, find the "gwipa" font in the font toolbar, and enter the phonetic alphabet you want. Save the image type you want. You can send it to the Internet, or put it in word, and send it with other content. In this case, you don't have to worry about the display problem. Well, although it is troublesome, it is estimated that there is no better way.
