How can I create German umlaut

How do I create the German umlaut (a "u" with 2 does over it) in my Outlook
and Word documents?

I am in the United States and have a default configured Windows XP Pro
workstation.

I was told all I needed to do was hold down ALT and press the numbers 0246
but this does not appear to work.

Can anyone help me out?

Make sure you use the numeric keyboard.

I leave a shortcut to the "Character Map" pgm in my toolbar. "CM" has Arial
set as its font and I just double click the letter I want then return to
document an insert (cntl v)thus ü. It also gives you the alt + number
sequence for the character, in this case alt+0252 - ü. Num Lock must be on
(default state) and you must use the numeric pad for ALL FOUR digits.
