so you're not gonna share what you learned with the rest of us?

RE: Inserting Degree Symbol Into Text...?

Probably either the "Insert Symbol" button or "Alt + 0176" character code.  


But yes, please share, we're always looking to learn.

It is a button on the text properties toolbar called "insert symbol."   It has diameter symbol, etc... and one option is degree.
