The procedure is the same in all versions of Word (and of course a little
more difficult on a laptop with no numeric keypad).

I'm a new Word 2007 user and other new users may not know that, in Word
2007, it's necessary first to engage the keyboard "Num Lock" key before
entering ANSI code numbers. The Num Lock key is at the upper-left corner
of
the numeric keypad which is on the right end of the standard keyboard.
It's
not in the QWERTY section of the keyboard.
Engage the Num Lock key, press the Alt key and hold it in while you type
in
the ANSI code from the numeric keypad (not from the row of numbers atop
the
QWERTY section of the keyboard). When the desired character has popped up
on the screen, press the Num Lock key again to disengage the key and to
continue with the normal use of the keyboard.
(The "paragraph character" is called a "pilcrow.")
