A couple of weeks
ago, I featured a tip where you could hold onto the ALT key, enter a numerical
string on your number pad, and a non-keyboard character would appear in your
currently-opened document. At that time, I referred you to your Character Map
for number codes. However, here's a web page that displays them all for you
in a single chart--plus accented character codes for Microsoft Word: http://www.cse.bris.ac.uk/help/docs/win-r1.htm
