I'm not sure what you mean. The degree character is Ascii 176 or Hex
"B0". I tried typing "B" then "0" then Alt-X. Didn't work.


"Didn't work" doesn't give us much to go on. What happened?


Nothing happened.

(I just tried it, and it works fine for me. Word 2003 -- maybe this
feature isn't in Word 2000?)


That's my guess
