SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, when you press ALT+0160 (from the numeric keypad), a degree symbol displays on the screen in most fonts when you view nonprinting characters. This character does not display when you turn off the viewing of nonprinting characters, nor does it preview or print.

MORE INFORMATION
Character 160 is reserved by Word for Windows for the nonbreaking space.

To correctly access the degree character in Word for Windows, use the Symbol command from the Insert menu.
