Default How to type the legal squiggle § that means "section"

I have been puzzled by this for a while. If you need to make the legal
squiggle that means section, the standard keyboard down't have it yet I see
it all the time from law offices. I'm running Word 2003 from MOS 2003 and
Win XP Pro SP2 on this box.

The Squiggle I'm referring to is talked about here in this thread:

This is what it looks like from a paste: §

Since I don't have the key, can I add the legal squiggle somewhere? Can I
get it from some Font store in XP--I don't remember seeing it there. If I
type "control fonts" in the run box, I don't see it in the list of Fonts
from the CPL folder.

BTW I find the Pleadings Wizard that MSFT provides so rigid and unflexible
I don't use it. More time and trouble than it's worth. I have no idea what
law offices do, and maybe someone familiar with this will tell me. I will
also try to look in the *Payne Word For Law Firms* book, and see if there is
a clue there.
