I have noticed that nobody seems to know how to make the degree (°) symbol. Hold down the ALT key and type the numbers 0-1-7-6 then release the ALT key. I have to do this all the time at work.

Alt 0-1-7-6?!? It's simply option 0 on a Mac. Yes, just another one of the many reasons Macs rule!

Sorry Gordon just trying to help. I don't think a lot of new people are searching the 2003 message boards for that type of info. Weird Don, I wonder why there are two codes?

ALT 2-4-8 is the only one I knew of. You learn something new every day!

In microsoft word, I just go into " insert, symbol " then I look for the degree symbol. How would you ever figure out this shortcut if someone didn't tell you?

Start ---> Programs ---> Accessories ---> System Tools ---> Character Map.

That will show you all of the characters for all of the fonts. Simply click on the one you want and the code will be displayed. You can either type the code into your message, or if you want multiple characters simply select them and copy/paste.

But copy/paste doesn't work on the boards here.

You can use Character Map to view the characters that are available in a selected font. Character Map displays the following character sets: Windows, DOS, and Unicode.

You can copy individual characters or a group of characters to the Clipboard and paste them into any program that can display them. Or, depending on the program you are using (such as WordPad), you can even copy characters by dragging them from Character Map directly into an open document.

Using Character Map, you can search for characters by Unicode character name or Unicode subgroup (such as arrows or mathematical operators) or by other special classifications.

You can also use Character Map to view and copy private characters that you have created using Private Character Editor.

If you know the Unicode equivalent of the character you want to insert, you can also insert a special character directly into a document without using Character Map. To do so, open the document and position the insertion point where you want the special character to appear. Then, with NUM LOCK on, hold down the ALT key while using the number pad keys to type the Unicode character value.

In case you wanted to really wanted to know.......Its 84° in COLORADO.....☻☺☻☺☻☺

° OK....so why don't the popular Alt key tricks work with laptops? Neither my IBM A31, A41 nor Dell Inspiron make ° symbols with the Alt-2-4-8 trick....What's up with that?
