Does Word have the symbol for an umlauf? Where can I find it? How do I use
it?

Help would be more helpful for you if you spelled it correctly: unlaut (with
a t).

You can use Insert > Symbol; or use the short cut: Ctrl-: followed by the
character over which the umlaut should appear, (which works only for vowels,
I think).

You can insert a standalone umlaut using Alt+0168 (on the numeric keypad)
or, in recent versions, by typing 00A8 and pressing Alt+X. But if you want
an umlauted vowel, most fonts contain special characters for these, and the
built-in Word shortcut for these is Ctrl+:, followed by the letter. For more
on inserting special characters, see
