Click on the "Process TGML" link in Step 2 (below the message box).
In the resulting box, scroll down until you see "Special Characters." Under that heading, there is a clickable link to "TGML Character Entity Reference" (the table to which MintJulep provided the direct link.)
Click on the TGML Character Reference link and scroll down to the desired symbol.
As a shortcut remember: "bracket, ampersand, semi-colon, close bracket." Start off with "&", enter the english term, such as "delta", then close with ";". Put them together with no spaces or quotation marks and you get: δ

Alt + 241 = ±
Alt + 171 = ½
Alt + 248 = °
Alt + 160 = á
etc.
These codes are useful to me for emails and when posting in forums and the like but, as Hydrae says, I would normally use the symbol character set for letters, reports, etc in Word or the openoffice equivalent.
