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

Ctrl+Shift+2, followed by a space. Or... Alt+0176.

I think it should be Alt+Ctrl+2 followed by a space (instead of Ctrl+Shift+2
followed by a space). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Ctrl+Shift+2, followed by a space.

The default assignment for the US Keyboard is Ctrl+Shift+2, Space.
Ctrl+Alt+2, by default, is assigned to ApplyHeading2 (here, at least). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Lene Fredborg" wrote in message news I think it should be Alt+Ctrl+2 followed by a space (instead of Ctrl+Shift+2 followed by a space). -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Ctrl+Shift+2, followed by a space.

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. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: The default assignment for the US Keyboard is Ctrl+Shift+2, Space.

Are you sure you didn't reassign Alt+Ctrl+2 to the degree symbol? I can't
imagine why the built-in command would be different, though, FWIW, on US keyboards Shift+2 is @ (which I guess someone would look enough like a degree symbol to be mnemonic), whereas on UK/international keyboards I believe that combination gives you an apostrophe or something. -- Suzanne S.
