The section, pilcrow, copyright, registered, and trademark marks used in contracts and citations all happen to sit in the Latin-1 range, so all five have real legacy Alt codes.

5 of 5 characters here have a legacy Windows Alt+NNNN code — that code only exists for the Latin-1 Supplement range and Windows-1252's fixed special-character block, not for Unicode generally. Every character has the universal hex-based method though: type the hex codepoint, then press Alt+X in Word to convert it.
