I am trying to create the degrees symbol and on the MS word website it says for me to hold down the Alt key plus hit 0176. The problem is that you have to do that with the num. pad and I don't have one, because this is a laptop. I also hit insert plus F4 but don't see the degreese symbol. I see a"Degrees Masculine Ordinal" which is not the same thing. any help appreciated.
