Most people don?t know that all the special symbols and punctuation
are available simply by holding the ALT key while typing a code
number on the NUM pad. For example a hyphen is on the keyboard, thus

down and typing 0151, thus ?.
Offhand do you know where one might download a chart of these
characters with the code numbers? I've been thinking of getting new
software designed to make this easier, but I could also pin a chart to
the wall and be happy with that.
Windows has included a program that tells you not only how to access the
special characters, but which each character code displays in different
fonts. It's called Character Map.
You might have to install it, it's under Add or Remove Programs > Windows
Components (the location changes from version to version, but check
Accessories at this point.)
A word of warning: Fonts vary, so there's no guarantee that the
copyright symbol in one font will be the copyright symbol in another.
