In MS Word (Windows), *both* Alt+1, Alt+2 and Alt+3 for choosing headings, and
Alt+number for inserting characters work. If you use the numbers on the
numerical keypad (i.e., the part of the keyboard to the right), they're
interpreted as characters, while the numerical key row at the top of the
keyboard is used to select headings.
(The top row numbers are never used for inserting characters (it doesn't work in
any applications)).
