Hmmm... I had 6 years of Latin (in Germany) and have never seen such a  
thing. So curiosity had me look it up on Wikipedia. Quote: "Textbooks  
and dictionaries indicate the quantity of vowels by putting a macron  
or horizontal bar above the long vowel, but this is not generally done  
in regular texts."

I guess you learn something new every day!

BTW if you switch your keyboard to "U.S. Extended", You can get a  
macron over a character by pressing Opt-a followed by the character.
