1. Method of adding pinyin to tones in Word

To add Pinyin tones to Chinese characters in Word, you can do this through the following steps:
1.Use the Pinyin Guide feature: Select the Chinese characters for which pinyin needs to be added, and click the "Pinyin Guide" button in the "Home" tab (usually located in the "Font" group). In the pop-up dialog box, the system will automatically generate Pinyin, but without tone marks by default.
2.Manually add tones: If you need to add tones, you can manually modify the Pinyin text in the "Pinyin Guide" dialog box. For example, "ma" can be changed to "mā" (first tone), "má" (second tone), etc. The following are the input methods for common Pinyin tones:
| tone | Pinyin example | Input method |
|---|---|---|
| The first sound (ˉ) | mā | After entering "ma", select "ā" in the "caret" symbol |
| Second tone (ˊ) | má | After entering "ma", select "á" in the "caret" symbol |
| The third tone (ˇ) | mǎ | After entering "ma", select "ǎ" in the "caret" symbol |
| Fourth tone (ˋ) | mà | After entering "ma", select "à" in the "caret" symbol |
| Quietly (unmarked) | ma | Type "ma" directly |
3.Use shortcut keys or input methods: Some input methods (such as Sogou Pinyin) support direct input of Pinyin with tones. For example, typing "ma1" is automatically converted to "mā".
