while holding down alt, type 0176 on the number pad, make sure numlocks are on

Alt + 0186 I believe,,, º,,, yep that’s it.

Actually that’s for Microsoft Works, I would think it’s the same for Word though. If not I’m sure someone will chime in shortly.

º seems to work fine, when I type in °, get a smaller symbol than I do with º.

Alt-0176 is the degree sign. Alt-0186 is the "masculine ordinal sign," which isn't used much in English. It'd be used, for example. in the abbreviation for "primero," which is "1º".

 

If you're typing the degree sign in the forums or in a cache description or log or whatever, you should use ° instead of the alt-whatever. And if you want to do it in Word, use the "insert symbol" dialog.
