Hi Connie, There's always the possibility to use Word's Insert Symbol feature for rarely used symbols. No other keyboard I know for "extended Arabic" languages provides keytop positions for standalone versions of maddah, hamzah above and hamzah below, although it might make sense to use these keys as "deadkeys" to type compounded glyphs alef-madda, alef-hamza, waw-hamza, etc., in order to have keytop positions that are presently occupied by these compounds free for other characters or symbols. For comparison, European keyboards or the US-International keyboard also do not include standalone versions of all accents, and use many keys (accent keys and others) with a "deadkey" function to generate accented characters.
