I suspect that the diacritical mark in question is an ogonek and not
a cedilla.  In either case, you can get a diacritical mark by itself
by looking up the character in Appendix D of the Word 4 manual.  Some
characters can be entered from the keyboard with appropriate combinations
of modifier keys - see the Key Caps DA.  Others can be entered using
the Word command "Paste Special Character", bound by default to Command-
Option-Q.

Here is a list of Mac numeric character codes and (PostScript) character names:

171  acute        250 dotaccent
172  dieresis     251 ring
246  circumflex   252 cedilla
247  tilde        253 hungarumlaut
248  macron       254 ogonek
249  breve        255 caron

The above characters should be available in most if not all bitmap versions
of PostScript typefaces.  They may not be available in older bitmap-only
fonts (e.g. Chicago, Geneva).  If you need special characters in a bitmap
font, they are easy to create using a font editor such as Fontastic.
