The standard Windows alt-ascii code trick works for me when I'm typing into an excel cell. Is that not working for you?


Remember, it must be four digits, and it must be on the numeric keypad with numlock on. For example, to type the last letter in "resumé" I have to type "resum" then hold down the left ALT key, reach over to the numeric keypad, type 0 2 3 3 then release the left ALT key.

I can also use the "Insert/Symbol" feature built into Excel as well, which is even easier and doesn't require me to know the ascii code.
