That's a TeX issue, not TeXWorks.  You can use a different engine than 
pdftex (e.g. XeTeX), or if you're using LaTeX, use a package to support 
non-ascii characters.  You can also use one of the old escapes for 
umlauts; it's been a while since I used those, but I think

   gen\"ugte nat\"urlich

might be what you want.
