Default How do you type the syble for degrees (temperature) in Word?

OK €“ it works differently here. I have a Danish keyboard and Word 2003
(English). Alt+Ctrl+2 followed by a space works here and is also listed in
Insert Symbol as the default shortcut for the degree sign. However, if I
check the assignments of keyboard shortcuts in Tools Customize Keyboard,
Alt+Ctrl+2 is listed as being assigned to ApplyHeading2 but it does not work.
The behaviour you experience seems more reasonable but does not work here.

Ctrl+Alt+2, by default, is assigned to ApplyHeading2 (here, at least).

I think it should be Alt+Ctrl+2 followed by a space (instead of
Ctrl+Shift+2
followed by a space).

I am trying to figure out how to type the little circle thing that
stands
for
"degrees". Does anyone know how to do this in Microsoft Word?
