What is the easiest way to write the tone marks in pinyin? For example ō and ó in Zhōngguó I always find this to be a pain. I'm wondering if there's an easy way to write those marks on top of the vowels. Right now I'm just copying them from a dictionary http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php ... but I think there has to be an easier way...Hi guys -- thanks for the suggestions. I know about using numbers to express the tones (wo3 yi3jing zhi1dao4 zhe4ge). But I'm wondering if there is a better way to make the tone marks without cut-and-paste...

I introduce a way to you: using Microsoft Input Method——open Soft Keyboard——Ctrl+Shift+Z——Select what you want. I tried this way and it would be effective. Hope that it can help you.

I think maybe you could use number with the word. Example: Zhōngguó you could type Zhong1guo2. Most of Chinese can understand it. chǐ xiào you could type chi3xiao4.

We don't use pinyin really often. If I use it I use——CTRL+SHIFT+Z——and of you use the apple you could write it directly. I have right now just these ways to help you. Good luck!
