Re: degree symbol
Wow, where to start...(inserting tongue in cheek). Help's help isn't helpful because: 1. The help author got boxed into using PDF output to try to demonstrate the power of PDF, when in reality it just reveals the extent of its limitations when you try to make a purse from a sow's ear. 2. The help author had too short of a timeline or too many overlapping deadlines or lack of access to the product in enough time to create the help content in time for delivery by frozen load deadline, because you can always do the same amount of work with fewer resources and never lose anything in the deliverable. 3. Perhaps the help author isn't a technical writer who has been trained in usability, audience analysis, etc., because anyone can write and anyone who can grasp technology and put together an email must be qualified to be a technical writer. 4. The help author's boss is more interested in saying yes to the project manager and product manager than in trusting what the qualified, well-trained, and seasoned help author advised would be the end result for the customer/user.

Re: degree symbol
Shuttleworth, Roger wrote:
The Character Sets PDF available from the Help menu lists the following for
Windows:
Alt 0176 Symbol font CrtlQ, 0 - but gives it an infinity symbol!
Alternatively, I find you can use Ctrl-Q,{ in the standard font (I'm using
Stone Serif).
Careful -- these shortcuts in FM are case-sensitive, and the symbols are
not identical.
The first key combination is CTRL + q (lowercase, not Q).
Following that with a curly bracket produces the Ring symbol (an accent
used in some languages).
Following CTRL + q with a less-than sign produces the degree symbol.
(If you type one after the other, you'll see there is a difference in
appearance between the ring and the degree symbols.)

Alt 0176 works indeed! But I have to be on the number pad, not the numbers across the top of the keyboard. Anyone know why Help's help isn't helpful?
