Assuming that the marks you are thinking of are, respectively,
breve and macron: immediately after typing the vowel, insert a
combining breve (U+0306) or a combining macron (U+0304) -- you can
do this with "Insert" and then "Special character".
If the result is ugly (for instance, the dot on _i_ may not
disappear to give way for the length mark), find the relevant
precomposed glyph; they seem to lodge in the range U+0100 to
U+0160.
Kind regards,
Anders Stenström

Hi,
There are two ways:
Your operating system's keyboard may allow you to enter special characters; e.g. with MacOSX you hold down the vowel or other key and you get a menu of possible marks to use.
OpenOffice has an Insert... Special Character... on the menu that gives you a matrix of hundreds of special characters that you can use.
HTH,
Craig
