Unwanted Superscript Degree Sign
I have used every version of Word since Word for Windows 1.0 to 2003. I have
had this problem since Word 97 and have seen it on a friend's Word 2003. Sometimes, but not always, when I type the signs : or ; Word inserts an Unwanted Superscript Degree Sign before it. Also, I have Word insert curly quote marks which usually works, but sometimes I can only get those ugly and quotes with an Unwanted Superscript Degree Sign before it. How do I stop the an Unwanted Superscript Degree Signs? Thanks. |

That "degree symbol" could be a non-breaking space.

If it's a non-breaking space, it may appear and disappear as you click ¶ on
the standard toolbar to toggle nonprinting characters, and it should not print. Putting "forced space before colon" and "quote marks as " together suggests that the cause of the problem is a keyboard layout that is set to international English or some other language. So, Zoonotics, check your keyboard layout settings. I'm afraid I don't know how you would do that, so ask Windows Help how, or wait for another post.
