How do I use te reo on library computers?

Te Reo Māori uses macrons over vowels to indicate vowel length. The following are installed on library computers to assist with using Te Reo:

• New Zealand Māori macron keyboard definition: examples of Māori macrons: Ā ā Ē ē Ī ī Ō ō Ū ū.
• Māori dictionary plug-ins for use with Microsoft Office and Open Office.

To insert a macron above a vowel, do the following:

1. Press and release the tilde ~ key (first key in the numbers row, top left on the keyboard + Shift);
2. Press the vowel key;
3. The vowel appears with a macron, for example ā.
