Does anyone know how to get the degrees C symbol on an IBM laptop keyboard. I know it's Alt + 0186 on a pc keyboard (using numberpad to the right) but the laptop is not having it!
Got a document to finish and this is holding it up!
Cheers,
Paul.

◙ write Deg.C - much quicker. Sorry. Amazing what you find out on here.
just use that keymap or something its called... or copy / paste this ℃
is it not in the insert symbol in micro. word?? failing that superscript the 'o' and then caps C!!
have a look at this page,it will tell you how to do a º and also how to switch on the number pad on a laptop ,if yours dont switch on using fn+f8 mine was fn+num lock http://www.northlite.net/ps/numpad.htm
Just chaecked and 'tis indeed in the same place on Vista.
I didn't even know it existed.
vista is the same. Also Alt +0186 works for me too
Interestingly Alt 0186 works if I use the numeric keypad, but if I use the numbers above the QWERTY bit then it doesn't! So what solorider said above may me what the reason is - i.e. you need to press a couple of keys to activate the 'numeric keypad' on the laptop. Assuming that is that you've got a numeric keypad on the laptop where the numbers are next to various letters? That's probably more faff and the Character Map way I'd reckon is much quicker.
Sorted it, cheers lads for the replies. It's fn + num lock and hey presto it's 80ºC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
