hi my name is Lynne and I'm from Pitman
training and I'm here to teach you how
you can use your keyboard effectively
both at home and at work
today we are going to show you how you
can type a degree symbol on your
keyboard most people use the keyboard
during their everyday life whether it be
for internet browsing word processing
and emailing I am going to teach you how
you can use the keyboard to type a
degree symbol say if you want to type a
degree symbol for the weather you may
want to use this repeatedly in your job
and rather than learning how to access
this in a word processing program for
example you can rely on using just the
keyboard by pressing the Alt key which
is located on the left hand side of the
keyboard to the left of the spacebar in
conjunction with numbers on the numeric
keypad which is located on the right
hand side of your keyboard you have the
ability to type a whole range of
different symbols and special characters
press the num lock key at the top of the
numeric keypad and you should see a
light go on to indicate it's active now
press and hold down the Alt key and then
type the number zero one seven six and
release the Alt key you should now see a
degree symbol appear
so just to recap with the num lock key
on hold down the Alt key and then type
the number zero one seven six to see the
degree symbol
there are many different shortcuts you
can learn using a computer keyboard but
most time-saving of these is learning to
type correctly you can learn to type at
a Pitman training center near you
