The day started out a cold 45. It's now a sunshiny dry 73. Perfect.

How do y'all get the little degree symbol?
Dear Lord, On this day, please wrap your arm around my shoulder and keep your hand over my mouth.  Amen

Hold down the Alt key and type in 248 at the same time... :grinnnn:

It is cooling off again now. I don't mind the cooler evenings, but I sure do dread when it gets really cold outside. 61° outside now...

It is supposed to be close to 70 here today.  I am so excited!  I am going to get out and enjoy it. Not good weather for the deer hunters though. 

I can't get the degree symbol to work for me.

Jessica, you have to hold the Alt key down the whole time you are typing the numbers 248. ° Try it again....

Hmmmm. You must be holding your mouth wrong, Jessica! :razberry: Try this face and do it again.... :wink5:

Are you sure you are holding the Alt key down all the way?

Anyone else having a problems with it?

When you let up on the Alt, that is when the ° appears, Jessica. It won't do it until then...

I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong but it really doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry you can't get it to work, Jessica.... :(

Maybe your computer doesn't like the symbol....

Jessica, when you type the ALT 248 or 0176 you have to type the numbers on the keypad.  The ones across the top on the qwerty keyboard won't do it.

Here'a a thought, Jessica. Are you on a Mac?  I think it only works with Windows computers.

That must be the problem. I am on a laptop and don't have a keypad.  Thanks for giving me that info.  Now I don't feel so dumb. :giggle:

Okay, so I have number keys similar to a keypad setup on the letters on my keyboard. So, if I hold down alt and the fn key and use those numbers, it works! °° See!!! :giggle:

the function key.  i'll have to try that.  it works on my desk top at work, but wasn't working on the laptop.  which is why i was using the * key.  tina, there is a key that says num over the keypad.  that has to be pushed to make the key pad work.  otherwise, they are arrow keys.  ok, trying the alt - fn thing...  nope.  didn't work.  and i almost lost my post...

The day started out at 45° with a high of 78°. Not a cloud in the sky, absolutely beautiful today. So much so I my the daughter stop at the beach just so I could take in the view. Starting to cool down now, so I've closed my windows before it get too cool in here.

You can also take a look at Start > Accessories  > System Tools > Character map and select the symbol there.  You copy it and then insert it with CTRL-V.
