It is a pain, I agree.

Try this:

Tools|Customize|Keyboard

Shortcut keys: Shift+F10 (or some other key that is open and you like)
Category: Insert
Function: Special Character
Click the "Modify" button

Now whenever you do Shift+F10 you will get the Special Characters table.
After you've inserted one SC, Shift+F10 will open back up to the same
Font and Subset that you'd selected previously.
