Long s

How do you actually insert this character in MS Word or Dreamweaver. I can't find it anywhere.

Typing long s in Word

To answer my own question you type 017F and then Alt+X. I also found it in the Adobe Caslon Pro special characters in the Latin Extended-A section. Again in HTML it is (without the spaces)
& # 3 8 3 ;
