This may seem relatively simple but all I want to do is put a degrees symbol
at the end of a temperature. I have looks through the Windings but there are
hundreds of them through Windings 1,2,3. Is there a quick way to do this or
can someone tell me where exactly I will find it. I'm surprised that it's not
included in the special characters.
Thanks in advance

Hold down the Alt key and type 248 on the numeric key pad

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

The degree symbol is contained in every ASCII and Unicode font at character
00B0 (Unicode) or 0176 (ASCII). You can insert this through Insert | Symbol,
but the built-in keyboard shortcut for inserting it in Word is Ctrl+@,
Spacebar.

ASCII 248 (U00F8) is "small letter o with stroke" (ø), not a degree symbol.

Not on my system, Alt-248 gets me °, maybe it depends on your regional or
language settings

Alt 176 gives me ¦ not °

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You're using Alt+176 rather than Alt+0176, which is the same reason you get
a degree symbol with Alt+248 instead of ø with Alt+0248.

So it does, what a difference an 0 makes.

Well at least my answer to the original poster was correct.
