Answer 1

If you are using WORD, then go to INSERT then SYMBOL. Look at the pictures of symbols and go down to the one that looks right (unicode 00B0). Click on it and then click on INSERT IN TEXT.

Answer 2

In Windows, the easiest way to insert a character that doesn't appear on the keyboard is to open the Character Map utility (found on the Start menu under Programs, then Accessories; in Windows 98 go a layer deeper under System Tools), select the font you're using and click the character you want. Press the Select and Copy buttons to copy it to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into any document.

If you don't have Character Map on your computer, you can install it using the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Click on the Windows Setup tab, double-click on System Tools, and check the box next to Character Map.

Windows also allows you to enter special characters directly using the Alt key and the numeric keypad (Num Lock must be on). For example, enter an "e" with an acute accent mark by typing Alt-0233. Alt-0176 is the degrees symbol and Alt-0162 is the cents sign. For a table of all the standard characters and their keycodes visit www.fingertipsoft.com/3dkbd/ansitable.html -- just add a zero to the beginning of each code listed after using the Alt key.

Depends if you are using Microsoft Word or Appleworks or some other application.

In Microsoft Word, select Insert. Then select symbol. Select the degree mark and click ok.

In Appleworks, you can type a lowercase o, then superscript it using the Style settings under the Format menu.

Alternatively in word you can insert the symbol into the document using the insert>>symbol interface, then copy it and paste it where needed.

In mac, you can hit alt and 0 at the same time.
