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 |

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. -- Suzanne S.

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

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. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "GreenieLeBrun" wrote in message ... Suzanne S.
