Special symbols can be inserted by using "Insert/Symbol" on the menu. However there are many shortcuts that make inserting symbols even easier.

The Autocorrect function allows you to enter common symbols quickly. A few examples:

(c) will become ©
(r) will become ®
(tm) will become ™

If there are symbols you use a lot, such as foreign currency symbols, you can edit the autocorrect list to create your own combinations.

International characters are a snap. Simply type "CTRL+(symbol)" followed by a letter to add a diacritical mark to a letter. Some valid symbols are:

apostrophe (') creates an acute accent - á
grave accent (`) creates a grave accent - à
carat (^) creates a circumflex - â
colon (:) creates a diaresis - ä
tilde (~) creates a tilde - ñ
the at sign (@) creates a ring - å
comma (,) creates a cedilla - ç

So to create the letter "â" type CTRL+^ (which is CTRL+SHIFT+6) then type "a". This trick doesn't work in all Microsoft Office applications, but it does work in Word and Outlook which are where they are needed most often.
