  There are a couple of ways to input the degree symbol on American 
keyboards.

Engage NUMLOCK
Then hold down the
LEFT ALT key

and then key in 0 1 7 6 on the numeric keypad or on the letters that 
take the place of a numeric keypad.

Do not use the number keys in the top row.

Here is an example � you should see a degree symbol.

The second way is to install the optional international keyboard which 
takes just a minute, see:

After it is installed you can click on the keyboard symbol in the system 
tray and switch back and forth at will between the standard U.S. English 
keyboard and the U.S. international keyboard.

So to enter the degree symbol this way first switch to the international 
keyboard.

Then hold down either SHIFT key (it will be easier to hold down the left 
SHIFT key), hold down the RIGHT ALT key and then hit the colon key :

You will then see the degree symbol appear as here � you should be 
seeing a degree symbol.

The advantage of using the international keyboard is that you can also 
enter foreign letters such as � � � � � � � � and many more as well as 
the Euro � and the Pound �.
