Or just choose the much quicker option: do a google search for a word that has the umlaut-ed letter you want in it, and then copy and paste.

Frau Kaleun:
An easier solution to the umlaut problem in MS-Word is to hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys together, then press the colon key [ : ], release the Ctrl and shift keys, then press the letter key for the letter you wish to umlaut. The letters to which this may be applied can be found in MS-Word by pressing the F1 key [Help] and typing "international character shortcut" in the search box. This also applies to other accent marks. Although I can play guitar and keyboard, I cannot, for some reason, learn to touch-type and rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts to make up for lost speed in typing. I quite often type my text in MS-Word, spell-check and then copy & paste the text to web postings such as this. I'm not sure you were aware of this umlaut method (I somehow suspect you are), so I hope this helps you or others...
