Here's a hack that will both A> blow your mind it's so simple and B> 
cause massive inner anguish at all the time you've wasted pasting in 
a letter from that word document....

There is an alternate way to type in keys on a PC.
It's called "alt-codes" and uses the ALT key and the number keypad.
You hold down the ALT key and type in a 1-3 digit number on the number keypad.
It has to be the keypad and not the number keys above the letters.
The number is the decimal value of the ASCII character.

For Z......
Z = 90
z  = 122

So, to type a "Z", you press the ALT key and while keeping it 
pressed, type in 90, and then release the ALT key and a Z should 
automagically appear.  If you're curious about the other letters, 
googling "ascii table" or "ascii chart" should work.
