This may seem relatively simple but all I want to do is put a degrees symbol
at the end of a temperature. I have looks through the Windings but there are
hundreds of them through Windings 1,2,3. Is there a quick way to do this or
can someone tell me where exactly I will find it. I'm surprised that it's not
included in the special characters.
Thanks in advance

Hold down the Alt key and type 248 on the numeric key pad

The degree symbol is contained in every ASCII and Unicode font at character
00B0 (Unicode) or 0176 (ASCII). You can insert this through Insert | Symbol,
but the built-in keyboard shortcut for inserting it in Word is Ctrl+@,
Spacebar.

ASCII 248 (U00F8) is "small letter o with stroke" (ø), not a degree symbol.

Not on my system, Alt-248 gets me °, maybe it depends on your regional or
language settings

Alt 176 gives me ¦ not °

You're using Alt+176 rather than Alt+0176, which is the same reason you get
a degree symbol with Alt+248 instead of ø with Alt+0248.

So it does, what a difference an 0 makes.

Well at least my answer to the original poster was correct.
