I believe I side with Wirt. If you are selecting characters that are not
part of your current keyboard mapping, it is very cumbersome under
Bill-Ware. If you have never done this before, here are the instructions:

--------------

Type ¢, £, ¥, ®, and other characters not on the keyboard

1       Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Character Map.

If Character Map is not available, see Windows Help for information about
how to install a Windows component.

2       In the Font box, select the font that contains the character you
want.
3       In the character grid, click the character you want.
4       Click Select, and then click Copy.
5       Switch to your item, and then place the insertion point in the text
box where you want to paste the character.
6       Click Paste  .
7       If the character looks different from the one you selected, select
the character and apply the same font you selected in Character Map.

Tip   Character Map shows the key combination you can use in Outlook to
insert the selected character. To type numbers in the key combination, use
the numeric keypad, not the keyboard.

Wirt's method looks a whole lot easier.
