Computer Tip for Degree Symbol |
|
|
Just learned this, and wanted to share. For example: if you wanted to type 350 degrees on your recipe for baking, etc. On your right number key pad, type in 350, and then with left hand; hold down alt key, and simultaneously type in 167 on right number key pad; and the degree sign will show.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Codes generated with your Alt Key require using the Number Keys on your Numeric Keypad. Using the Number Keys at the top of your keyboard will not work.
Special Symbol Shortcuts Using the ALT Key
Alt + 0176 = ° (Degrees) Alt + 0162 = ¢ Alt + 0188 = &frac; Alt + 0189 = &frac; Alt + 0190 = &frac; Alt + 0178 = Alt + 0179 = Alt + 0163 = £ Alt + 0169 = © Alt + 0174 = ® Alt + 0165 = ¥ Alt + 0177 = ± Alt + 0185 = Alt + 0247 = ÷ Alt + 0166 = ¦ Alt + 0149 = Alt + 0134 = Alt + 0227 = ã Alt + 0151 = (m dash) Alt + 0150 = (n dash)
Win (Windows) Key Same as clicking on Start Win Key + E Opens Windows Explorer Win Key + F = Find Files & Folders Win Key + R brings up the Run command. Win Key + Pause/Break Key takes you to System Properties Win Key + D toggles you between the Desktop and wherever you happen to be.
Right-Click Key (Same as Pressing Right Button on a Mouse)
Símbolos Españoles Alt + 0191 = ¿ Alt + 0161 = ¡ Alt + 0209 = Ñ Alt + 0241 = ñ Alt + 0225 = á Alt + 0233 = é Alt + 0237 = í Alt + 0243 = ó Alt + 0250 = ú Alt + 0252 = ü Alt + 0186 = º (1º = primero) Alt + 0170 = ª (2ª = segunda)
(The following shortcuts do NOT use the Ctrl or Alt key.) F1 = Help F7 = Spell Checker Shift + F7 = Thesaurus F12 = Save As... Alt + F4 = Exit Program Ctrl + Alt + Del = Break out of a lockup and open Task Manager
In MS-Word: Shift + F3 = Toggles selected text from ALL CAPITAL LETTERS to all lower case letters to Traditional sentence structure.
These shortcuts apply to many Microsoft programs (such as MSOffice & MSWorks). Most of the shortcuts apply to many other programs, as well.
Editor's Note: The ones that appear here as little SQUARES are the ones that our server cannot translate. I'm not sure what they were supposed to be but we have that problem often in the feedback and usually have to guess at what it should be.
