In Microsoft Word for Windows, how can I type foreign language characters?

In Microsoft Word, you can type some relatively common non-English characters by using the keystroke sequences listed below. Each sequence consists of a key combination to be pressed simultaneously (e.g., Ctrl-Alt-' ), followed by a single character to be pressed separately. For other ways to generate non-English characters, see In Microsoft Word for Windows, how do I access foreign or special characters?
