Computer Tip for Degree Symbol?

How can I get a degree symbol on my Logitech Dinova wireless keyboard? My keyboard has no right hand number board or numbers lock. Thanks for any help.

We have windows here at work and I work for a title company, I use "control and D" (approximately at the same time) to make a degree sign. I have no idea if this translates elsewhere.

For Windows, you should be able to use the Character Map (Start > Accessories > Character Map) and copy/paste the degree symbol from there. I sometimes just use an apostrophe (') or asterisk (*) when quickly typing.

If you are on a laptop or use a keyboard without a numeric keypad, your best bet is to make a "Cheat Sheet" like I did many years ago at webby.com/char
By putting it on the web, I have access to it from anywhere.
When I need an odd symbol, that I don't remember the code for, or when I am on a laptop, I simply copy the required symbol from that page and paste it into what I am working on.

You are most welcome to use that page. Thousands of people do. Just drag the little icon from the left of the address bar into a corner of your desktop, and you have an instant shortcut to all those codes.

Have FUN!

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.

I hold down the alt key and type 0176 with the numeric keypad, also for a bullet use Alt 0149, and for a dash, alt 0150. Try other number combinations to find the symbols you use most frequently.

(The following shortcuts do NOT use the Ctrl or Alt key.)

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 and MSWorks). Most of the shortcuts apply to many other programs, as well.
