I HAVE A REQUEST--- SOME TIME AGO SOMEONE IN THIS GROUP POSTED A METHOD FOR PLACING A TINY 0 AFTER NUMBERS TO DENOTE TEMPERATURE DEGREES. I SAVED THE INFO IN SOME FILE BUT CANNOT FIND IT NOW THAT I NEED IT. CAN ANYONE POST IT AGAIN. IT WAS A METHOD OF HITTING SEVERAL KEYS TO GET THE SYMBOL THAT IS TUCKED AWAY IN THE BOWELS OF MICROSOFT. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF THIS INFO WAS POSTED AGAIN.

In MS word you can hold down the alt key and hit 0176 and you end up with 350°, in addition, 0188 gives ¼, 0189 gives ½ and 0190 gives ¾. hope this helps.
Can you speak up please, I'm a bit deaf
If you happen to have a Mac, this is easy. The =B0=20 is obtained from shift-option-8. The numbers are=20 as usual.

As for me, I hold down alt, while I am typing 0186. =BA =BA

Nothing happened when I tried that.
Alt & 167 =º
Hold down the ALT key then press 167 on the numeric keypad, when you release the ALT key you will see º on your screen

What program are you using to post this message?
This may work in your newsreader software but doesn't work in Outlook Express.
