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. Is that
what you meant?


Hex is 00B0.


Leading zeroes aren't needed in hex/Alt-X, only in Alt+decimal. (I've
just confirmed this with a test.)

http://oakroadsystems.com/tech/winxptip.htm#Unicode lists the
possibilities for all Windows XP, not specifically for Word.


I am running Windows 2000. I'll be upgrading to Win XP soon. I'll test
it again then.

Thanks for the tips.
