Insert symbol degrees in all applications

In this article, we describe how a variety of ways to insert icon degrees in virtually all applications.On the keyboard to enter it is not a separate key.As a result, we have to use non-standard input methods.Among them are the following:

• using basic table ASCII-codes.
• table symbols in combination with a clipboard.
• specialized input method is implemented only in applications "Microsoft Office".

Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages.All these stages are described in terms of this material.

using a special code

One of the easiest ways to insert the degree symbol - is to use the main table ASCII-codes.In this case, perform the following manipulations:

1. While typing keyboard navigation must be converted into numeric input mode.To do this, first look at the state of the LED with the inscription «Num Lock».If it is on, nothing to do.Otherwise, press the key once with exactly the same inscription.He should come.
2. further stifle press «Alt» (possible both left and right).
3. hold, dial string code "0-1-7-6" is on the navigational keypad.Then remove your hands from the keyboard.Only after that appears to the left of the cursor icon degrees.

One of the most versatile ways to enter non-standard characters - that's the main advantage of this method.Its main flaw lies in the need to remember a code number.

Built symbol table and clipboard

Unlike the previous method, the use of the built-in character table and clipboard eliminates the need for special codes.He also works perfectly in all applications.Icon degrees in this case, is inserted as follows:

1. Open the window "Run" by pressing «Win» (it depicts the operating system logo "Vindovs") and, without releasing it, press «R».
2. then in the "Open", enter the following command: «charmap».Then you need to press "OK".This opens the symbol table.
3. Its top is a «°» and click on it once left-arm.Then press the "Select" and then "Copy."
4. The next step is to go to the application in which you want to insert the degree symbol.If it is minimized to the taskbar, it must be restored.Otherwise it starts.Then simply press the combination «Ctrl» and «V».After that, the symbol will appear in his work area.

very simple and intuitive way that can be applied in practice.And there is no need to remember the table ASCII-code or print it on paper.

Applications Microsoft Office

special way to enter special characters designed exclusively for of Microsoft Office.This PowerPoint, and Excel, and Word, and all the other components of the package.Degree symbol in "the Word" is entered as follows (the same for the rest of the order):

1. In an open window, a word processor go to the tab "Insert".
2. It is the panel "symbols", select the list of "character."
3. from the drop list to choose the item "Other characters".
4. In the window that opens, find the «°» and click "Paste".
5. After closing the window you want us to sign will be in the text editor workspace.

simple way to enter special characters, but it works only in a specific list of applications.And this is its main disadvantage.

Summary

degrees icon on the keyboard is absent.That is, to enter it can not accommodate any single key.Therefore, we have to use in ways that were previously set out.From the standpoint of practice is best to use one that is based on the use of the symbol table and a clipboard.It works for all practical applications.Thus there is no need to memorize any code.
