Default The long, medial or descending s (ſ)

I'm guessing you mean unicode symbol 017F. In Word type 017F (select it) and
press ALT+X. In Word 2007, Arial, Calibri, Comic, Courier and many other
fonts contain this symbol.

I need to insert into my document the old-fashioned letter "s" that
resembles an italicized "f" without the crossbar of the "f." I am using
Word 2007 and wonder how I can replicate that letter. [The long "s" was
used at the beginning and middle of words, as seen in the Bill of Rights,
for example]

Thanks
