Following my attendance at Tangata tû, tangata ora last week I vowed to have another go at setting up my keyboard for Mâori language and have now succeeded. I’m sure this info will be useful to others in the Library and actually it’s pretty straightforward when you know what to do. So here’s how:

Start menu-Control panel-programs-run advertised programs-Highlight “UC Mâori Language keyboard”-Click on run

Then restart your computer.

To type a macron in Word or email hit the `key (ie the tilda key) located to the left of the 1 on the keyboard before typing the vowel you need the macron for.

And bingo!

It doesn’t seem to work in Counterculture
