Bit of computery help please
I'm writing up a case log for work - my first ever wooooo - and was wondering if anyone knows how to get the degrees symbol (as in 38 degrees celcius)so I don't have to keep copying and pasting it from websites.

On a mac it's
alt and 0.

Not that that helps you on a pc.

In word?
insert - symbol and you'll have to scroll through a bit to find it but then it will appear in the "recently used" so it will be easier to find :)

It's in Latin-1 apparently

^ this
and, you can also make a shortcut key for it at the same time (like Alt + 0 for example)

Hold down Alt and press 0176 on the key pad, then let go of Alt.

I wasn't sure if there was a combination on keys I'd need to press, but that's just as good.

In my spare time I'm sometimes not a cunt.
It's a hobby.

Indeed
I don't think M$ likes alt shortcuts though so probably best to go with ctrl+0

woo bagel! Thanks *noms*

Although the above work for word,
The following works in nearly all applications:

Hold the left alt ket and type 248 on the number pad at the right.

alt + 0

On a similar note, how do you write a ÷ on a pc? on a Mac it's alt + /

@mike woz ere
but make sure NUM-LOCK is enabled.

@Mrs L.
When NUM-LOCK is enabled, while holding down left-ALT, type '0247'.

@Everyone
If in doubt, copy and paste the symbol into wikipedia to look it up. It might give you the ALT-code for it.
