Hold down the Alt key and type 248 on the numeric pad °

hold down shift+option and hit 8

This is not the best answer, IMHO, but the 3rd one is by hitting alt 0167! How do you figure this tedious method is the "best answer"? Why can't I vote?

    If all else fails, you can superscript a small "o", but you should be able to find a degree symbol in your extended character set (the command would be Insert, Symbol). I'm sure there is also an alt-code for it too but I don't know what it is offhand.

    Alt + 0176
    or & deg ; (except put it together)
    && make sure your NUM is LOCKED when trying the ALT + 0176

    this is how it looks like with the ALT method --- º

    this is how it looks like the with & deg ; method --- °

    hope that helps!

    on a Mac OS X version 10.3.9, go to the flag on the toolbar and click on "Show Character Palette" and then find the degree symbol under punctuation, if you have that computer but the flag isnt on the toolbar, go to system prefs, international, then click on input menu and then check the box next to character palette to get it to show up

    ALT+0176 That is hold down the ALT key while sequentially pressing 0176 on the numeric keypad on the right. After the 6, release the ALT key. Or you could use the character map.
