Insert a special character Click where you want to insert the character. On the Insert menu, click Symbol, and then click the Special Characters tab. Double-click the character you want to insert. Click Close.

Libellule, In Word type lower case 'o' then select it and go to Format|Font and check 'Superscript.' If you are using Word as your message drafting application in Outlook the degree symbol will work there as well.

Not sure about using the special characters in Outlook, but if you set Outlook to use MS Word as your Email editor, then you can do anything you want as you will compose your email in Word

Since you have a need to insert the character in both Word and Outlook, consider the following.

1. Turn Numlock on

2. Use the numeric keypad and enter 0176 while holding the ALT key down.

3. This will work in Word and Outlook. Quick. No switching back and forth in fonts.
