In the Arial Unicode MS and MS Gothic fonts, among others, you'll find quarter,
eighth, and sixteenth notes at Unicode numbers 2669 through 266C. For example,
to insert a quarter note, type 2669 in the document and press Alt+X.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm for more.

There are two musical note characters in Times New Roman, Arial, Courier
New, and other fonts, in the Miscellaneous Dingbats character subset at 266A
and 266B.
