Is there an easy way in Microsoft Word 2010 to make words appear like keystrokes the way we can here in Superuser?

Something like this: Ctrl + V

I know that <kbd> is an HTML tag, but in normal HTML that just switches to a fixed-width font. In fact, that's how Word treats it if you paste something from SU into a Word doc:

Pasted into Word

If there's not a standard way to do this in Word, is there a free font that might accomplish the same thing? I thought I'd seen some before but couldn't find any at the regular places I find fonts (dafont.com, fontspace.com).
