You can create signs and symbols by holding down the Alt key while you press the numbers on the right side of the keyboard. Make sure the Num Lock is on. This works in WORD, WORKS, e-mail, etc. I’ve added some symbols to my site, Grammarbook.com.

Additional Tip:

The debate about using one space or two spaces after an ending punctuation may still be raging on within the land, but the war is over according to most authorities. Use just a single space after a period, exclamation point, colon, and question mark. Please remember that I am not “the decider,” just your humble messenger.
