Well, heck. Maybe Maori _won't_ do the trick for your faculty member.
Somehow I'd forgotten about all the other diacritics that creep in in
some systems, like the hacek over the "s" and the other nasty little
squiggles underneath consonants and vowels alike ...
Buckwalter doesn't use diacritics at all, which is helpful, I suppose.
I can't find an example of ISO 233-2 Romanization, alleged to be simpler
than ISO 233 (dots, etc.)
Here's a comparative table of transliteration schemes, though not
complete.

The Help Desk called the Lab for help!
A prof needs to type in transliterated Arabic. (Unfortunately, he
apparently didn't explain his specific needs any better than that.)
I've
found a lot of solutions, but I thought I'd ask here for suggestions
based
on experience. The platform is Windows XP with Office 2003.
Thanks,
Sharon
