You can either use InsertSymbol which will show you the key combination to
type for each, or they can be inserted by holding down the Alt key and then
typing the appropriate sequence of numeric keys on the numeric keypad. If
you run the following macro, it will create a table showing you what keys
insert what:

' Macro created 12-08-98 by Doug Robbins to list symbols that can be
inserted via Alt+keypad

'

ActiveDocument.Tables.Add Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=1,
NumColumns:=3

Selection.TypeText Text:="Alt + Numeric Keypad"

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Selection.TypeText Text:="Normal Font"

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Selection.TypeText Text:="Symbol Font"

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Symbol = 33

While Symbol 256

Selection.TypeText Text:="0" & LTrim$(Str$(Symbol))

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

With Selection

.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Normal",
Unicode:=False

End With

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

With Selection

.InsertSymbol CharacterNumber:=Symbol, Font:="Symbol",
Unicode:=False

End With

Symbol = Symbol + 1

Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell

Wend

End Sub
