Altho' all the above prescriptions work, and may be useful in
some of Excel's peculiar situations, I use the degree symbol
quite a bit in Word. Sometimes, I can remember ALT+0186 or use
the Character Map program but I think the most practical way is
to use Autocorrect. The same Autocorrect, set up in Word, works
in Excel. I use ~o, which I usually can remember. I find that a
similar route is useful for temperatures; in my case ~F and ~C.
