Hold down the "Alt" key while typing (using the numbers keys to the right of the keyboard) the three numbers in the "Windows" column of the chart then let up on the "Alt" key. If you don't have a numbers keypad, hold down the "Fn" and "Alt" keys while typing the three numbers on the beveled front of the keys. ("1" is on the "J" key)
Another appoach is to display the character map using Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map.
Copy and paste special characters from the Character Map into your document. The "Alt" keystrokes for the highlighted character are displayed in the lower right. To add another keyboard language, Start -> Settings -> Control Panel, double-click on Keyboard and select the Language tab.
