Greek breathings in Vista

Does anyone know how to get the rough and smooth breathings that go above a Greek vowel at the beginning of a word. The best I have found are the single opening and closing quotes but they can only go before the vowel instead of above it. (This is in Microsoft Word 07)

I use Type Greek.com. It includes an alphabet key: Type Greek.com » Alphabet Key

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart

That font is extremely limited in what it can do. It will not do breathings at all, nor accents. I strongly suggest downloading a Greek font that is a unicode font. BibleWorks comes with a great Greek font. Palatino Linotype is also a great font, especially for the internet, since most browsers can read it.
