Martin,

CTRL+SHIFT+@ then press the space bar.

Note that this is a two-step operation. Ctrl+Shift+@ is the "setup key." You
press that combination, release, then press the spacebar.

I use the degree sign all the time. You can go to the insert menu, click on
symbols, find the degree sign and click on it and then click on the
autocorrect tab. I use "dee" to autocorrect after a number, but you can
choose whatever combination of letters you want. Jeanne

As previous posts have explained, there is already a built-in keyboard
shortcut for this symbol, but I can see that if you use it frequently, an
AutoCorrect entry would be helpful.
