They just installed Word 2007 and I can't figure out how to program a
short-cut with a symbol I use alot (degrees) instead of always inserting it.

You can do it the same way as in previous versions: Open the Insert Symbol
dialog -- it sounds like you found that already -- select the symbol you want,
and click the Shortcut Key button at the bottom of the dialog.

In the case of the degree symbol, there's already a shortcut: Press and release
the Ctrl and @ keys, then press the spacebar. However, you can add another
shortcut you prefer, or replace the default one with your own (by removing the
default one).
