How to Get the Degree Symbol in MS Office

1. Press and hold the 'Alt' key. If you have a laptop computer with an 'Fn' key and no dedicated numerical keypad, hold the 'Fn' key as well.
2. Press the keys '0176' on your numerical keypad. Note that you cannot use the number keys at the top of the keyboard to type the degree symbol. If you have a laptop computer with no dedicated numerical keypad, use the keys with blue numerals on them.
3. Release the 'Alt' key and, if applicable, the 'Fn' key as well. The degree symbol appears at the location of the blinking cursor.
