M$Word and M$Outlook both use unicode for direct text input, which means that they do not parse meta-codes like we can in HTML and UBB here on the Ship. So, you'll need to look up the hidden reference of "special characters" on your computer.
1) OSX: either "file" or "edit" menu at top there should be a "special characters" option that will open up box with everything you need.
2) Window$: under the Start Menu - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools is a program called "Character Map" with all the characters you're likely to need.

Cheers.
