Hi,
You could use the international keyboard setting. That makes it possible to type all the diacriticals using a combination of the left shift and alt keys. It is a bit of a pain to use, since you need to type a space after things like " to make them work right. I used to use it since it gave me easy access to things like the degree mark, °, and mu, µ, which I needed all the time. To set that up, use the keyboard icon in the control panel. A Google search should give you a copy of the layout of the international keyboard.
Second way is to use the Character Map applet. For some strange reason, I don't think this is installed by default on most Windoz systems, but you can use the add/remove programs icon of the control panel to add it. Then it is just a case of copying the symbol you want.
Finally, you could find a list of extended ASCII values. Such a list will give you the Alt+keystroke values for all the ASCII characters. For instance Alt+0241 will give you ñ.
Have fun :)
