However, once you get the symbol in to your document, you can always copy and paste it again wherever and whenever you want to use it. It involves using the mouse to navigate the symbol’s library where you can just click and insert any symbol you want. This method is not as simple as using the symbol’s Alt Code. These steps will insert the degree sign into your Word document. Whilst holding on to the Alt key, press the degree symbol Alt code which is 0176.Now hold down the Alt key on your keyboard.Use Fn+NumLk to enable Num Lock on a laptop without the numeric keypad. Place the insertion pointer at where you want to type the degree sign.First, launch your Microsoft Word document.To do so, just obey the instructions below: If you are using a Windows computer, the easiest way to type the degree symbol in Word is to use the Alt Code shortcut. My Euro shortcut doesn't work in the other software cause the other software is already using that combo for another function.Below are the easy ways to insert the degree symbol in Word. So for MS Word you are all set for your degree symbol.
But I did find my Euro by clicking on the touch screen icon in lower right corner, click on &123, then forward arrow and there's the Euro symbol. My only issue now is, because there's no number keypad and I can't get the Alt combo to work even with the On Screen Keyboard or num pad on one of the touch keyboards, I can't use the Alt combo in this other software I'm using. If not already assigned, you can assign it although you want to make sure the combo of keys you choose are not already doing something else you want. Then click on the bottom where it says Shortcut Key and it may already be assigned to one (the one I wanted was the Euro symbol and I found out that it's already assigned to Alt-Cntl-E). It's assigned to then space but that sign is really Shift 2 cause it's above the #2 on the top row.įor any symbol, you can go to the Character Map (swipe in from right, hit Search and start to type Character Map) and then look up the symbol you want. If trying to do it in MS Word (and maybe Excel and PowerPoint, although I didn't try) you can use the Type Cover and hit Cntl-Shift 2, let go and hit the space bar.
