Release Notes: 

Fixed the bug where a capital letter without preceding accent sign would not be converted to Greek.

In order to properly use this macro you need a Unicode font with all necessary letters.
Examples:

Deja-Vu (free)
Linux Libertine (free)
Athena Unicode (free)
Arial Unicode (newer Windows/ MS Office versions have it)

And this is how it works:
You write a word in Latin characters, run the macro and the text will be converted to Greek.
Conversion scheme is quite straight forward - more so if you used Beta Code before.

Not so obvious letters are:

  • c becomes xi
  • q becomes theta
  • w becomes omega
  • y becomes psi
