This question would probably apply to any office app but I'm going to use the
information on an Access report so I'll post it here. I need to print a
symbol for degrees (Farenheit) on a report and can't seem to find a font
family that will print this particular character which of course is only a
super-scripted lower case "o". Does anyone know where I can find this?

Thanks in advance,

The place to look for special characters is in the Character Map
program that is part of Windows.
Start + All Programs + Accessories + CharMap.exe
(or search for charmap.exe on your hard drive.)

Select your Font Style and look for the degree symbol.
Select it and note it's keystroke combination. The degree is Alt+0176

Whenever you need to insert the degree hold down the Alt key and type
(using the number keypad only) 0176
The result will be 350°
