Can you show character codes in Word?

I need to view the character codes in Word. For example if I have a string like ÀÏËßćęœǼ can I do something to view the character codes (i.e.Chr(132)) for each letter instead of the true charatcer.

I know I can go to Insert > Symbol and look for them but there must be a quicker way.

Thanks in advance

Update:

I have devised a work-around.

In Access I created a table with 2 fields

CHR (Autonumber)

ASC (Text)

I created AutoNumbers up to 255 and then ran an update query to update the ASC field to

ASC([Chr])

This left me with two columns, the Chr(Number) and the ASCII value

    I think not but the sensible thing to do if you use these a lot is to start building up a list yourself of the ones you use.
