In Word 97, the information you want is accessed via the
Tools:Customize menu command. There is a button labeled "Keyboard..."
which opens a dialog box called "Customize Keyboard". At the bottom
of the Categories scroll list is the item "Common Symbols". When the
U.S. International keyboard is selected, this list shows the key
combinations for all supported accents and ligatures.
I have not used Word 2000, so I don't know whether it has this
information in the same place.
