If you want to assign a simpler shortcut, go into the Insert Symbol dialog, select the degree sign, and click the Shortcut button.

Adding degree (°) symbol after numbers.
Probably the simplest thing is to assign it to a keystroke. Go to Tools
Customize. At the bottom of the window click on "Keyboard". In the popup window, select "Insert" under Categories. Under "Commands" scroll down to "Symbol:". A button will appear on the right-hand side "Symbol". Click on it and then choose the symbol you want and click on "OK". Then click in the box under "Press new shortcut key". Choose whatever keystroke you want to assign to the symbol. Keep in mind that many shortcuts are already assigned to the usual suspects. Something like "Alt+1" is what I use for such things. When you are ready, click on "Assign" on the bottom left. Under "Current keys" you'll find your shortcut key listed. Then click on "Close".

That is not a standard AutoCorrect or AutoText entry; perhaps it is one that
you have added? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "smd1227" wrote in message news Jay, couldn't he also use ;d and the enter key?
