2.4 has an amazing array of symbol choices, and after your response to my first post I explored each of them, but could not find a degree sign. I did find a degree sign in 3.1 running on an HP Pavilion notebook in my office using Vista (not remarkably stable). It follows the basic alphabet in Latin-1. I copied it to a blank document on the Pavilion, saved it to an XP machine on my lan, copied the document from there and pasted to my mini, where I can use it to copy and paste the degree sign into 2.4 documents. A satisfactory work-around for now. When the rush is over, I plan to back up my mini to an external hard drive and install the latest 3 version.
