To type any arbitrary character in Word, hold down the Alt key while
typing the three-digit value (i.e., 088, 196, 254) on the numeric 
keypad; then release the Alt key and the character mystically appears!

This is real handy for doing things like "bulleted lists", since there's 
no key for bullet either.  (It's 254 or something like that; I don't
have it in front of me.)  BTW I'm using Word 4.0 but it's still in 5.0.
