Hi,
I searched the lists for how to type a degree symbol in LyX under Windows
and didn't find something that I thought was really easy. So here's
an alternative (which may well have drawbacks), e.g that it requires your
keyboard to have some kind of numeric key pad. Here goes:
In order to type the degree symbol, press and hold down the Alt key while
on the numeric key pad typing 0176. (The '0' is needed.)
This method worked in my LyX under Windows XP.
The page
http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/international/accents/codealt.html
contains similar codes for lots of other symbols.
Caveat: There might be drawbacks with this method that I haven't tested,
and it would be much nicer if I had the equivalent of a Compose-key in
Windows.
cheers,
Christian
