Special Character Keys for word

[steveh]

Hi All

I have quite a comprehensive list of the ALT short cut codes for special charaters but I was wondering if anybody new of one for this symbol

Degrees C.jpg

Are you sure that this is a single character? The Unicode "Degrees Celsius" character looks different: ℃. You can get it by typing 2103 followed by Alt+X in Word.

I use Alt+248 on the numeric pad to get (one version of) degree: ° and follow it with C, as in 13°C...

Hi Hans and John

Thanks for both replies. Sorry the question was probably badly worded I current use ALT0176 to get ° and then add the C, I just saw the symbol I posted on another site (I can't remember where now) and just thought it looked 'snazzier' than what I was using. Because it was on a website and seemed to be in a table I made the assumption that it existed as an ASCII and that there would be a short code for it.

CTRL+@, then press SPACEBAR is another shortcut you may prefer, but only works in Office 2002 on...

Steve, if you don't mind using yet another FREE utility, I use UtilFr – Clavier+ 10.6.1 for such things not only because it's easy to use but also since it works anywhere text is permitted, in addition to a word processor.

Examples:    Â½    Â¾    Â¼    Â°

PS I use it for MANY "repeated use" text entries such as my name and address, my usual ID (bigaldoc), my email address, etc.

Thanks everybody for the replies and cheers Big Al for the link, I have downloaded that and will have a play with it
