Use the Symbol Library Method #2: Use the Superscript CHEAT SHEET: 3 WAYS TO GET A DEGREE SYMBOL To get a degree symbol in Excel there are 3 methods you can use. Each example below creates 180o. Method #1: Use the symbol library 1. In a cell, type ‘180’ (without the quotes). 2. Then go to Insert tab and click the Symbol icon (far right). This shows you all the characters in every font on your computer. 3. In the top dropdown box, select the Symbol font. 4. Scroll down and select the degree symbol. 5. Click Insert. NB. You can expand the dialog by hovering over the dialog frame and with the double-headed arrow click-and-drag to the size you require. Method #2: Use the Superscript tool 1. In a cell, type ‘180’ (without the quotes). 2. Type a lower case ‘o’. 3. Using the mouse (or press Shift plus left or right arrow on the keyboard) highlight just the ‘o’. 4. Right click and choose Format Cells to display the ‘Format Cells’ dialog (or press Ctrl 1). Only the Font tab is displayed because you are still editing the cell contents. 5. Tick the Superscript box. 6. Click OK. The superscript can be used for other things. For example, if you’re laying some concrete or turf and you want to record the area to be covered, let’s say it’s 20 square meters, you can display it as 20m2. 1. Type 20m2. 2. Highlight just the 2 at the end. 3. Right click and choose ‘Format Cells’. 4. Tick the Superscript box (in the Font tab) 5. Another common application of superscript is when you need to display a particular date format like 6th June. 6. Subscript does the opposite to superscript. The text is little and sits below the baseline. 7. For example, the chemical symbol for water - H2O. That 2 actually sits below the baseline. To do that, you 8. Type H2O. 9. Highlight just the 2. 10. Right click and choose ‘Format Cells’. 11. Tick the Subscript box (in the Font tab).

The ASCII for a degree symbol is 176. Here’s how you enter it in Excel. 1. Position the cursor where you want the degree symbol. 2. Hold down the ALT key and type 0176.

  • End-Of-Line Hyphenation of Chemical Names (IUPAC Provisional
    Pure Appl. Chem. 2020; aop IUPAC Recommendations Albert J. Dijkstra*, Karl-Heinz Hellwich, Richard M. Hartshorn, Jan Reedijk and Erik Szabó End-of-line hyphenation of chemical names (IUPAC Provisional Recommendations) https://doi.org/10.1515/pac-2019-1005 Received October 16, 2019; accepted January 21, 2020 Abstract: Chemical names and in particular systematic chemical names can be so long that, when a manu- script is printed, they have to be hyphenated/divided at the end of a line. Many systematic names already contain hyphens, but sometimes not in a suitable division position. In some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbi- trarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides recommendations and guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places as often suggested by desk dictionaries. Instead, readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert optional hyphens. Accordingly, the software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoy- ance when proofreading. The recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral part of the name and should not be deleted when ‘undividing’ the name. These recommendations may also prove useful in languages other than English.

  • MS Word Tips and Tricks
    Writing Lab www.bellevuecollege.edu/asc/writing Microsoft Word Tips and Tricks Writing an assignment often requires special characters and formatting elements. Here are some guidelines for achieving a more polished-looking document in Word. Headers and Footers A running header is text in the top margin of every page of your document. In PC versions of MS Word (since 2007), you can just double-click your mouse in the top margin to activate the text box for the header. (1) Use the Home tab Paragraph buttons to align the text to the right, (2) type your last name (for MLA-style papers), (3) a space, (4) select the Insert tab, (5) Page Number, and (6) Current Position and Plain Number to automatically number all the pages in your document. A footer is text that appears in the bottom margin of every page. Generally, the pages of student papers are numbered in the header, but if a footer is called for, selecting a centered page number is recommended, since being an odd or even page won’t matter. In Word for Mac (since 2011), use Print Layout View, and double-click in the top margin for header access. Insert a page number aligned to “outside.” Position the right-align tab arrow to the left of the page number. On page 2, set the left tab arrow past the number box. Note: the default margins are 1.25" in Word for Mac, so they’ll likely need to be changed to 1" on all sides. Footnotes Footnotes are bibliographic citations or related notes placed beneath a short horizontal line at the bottom of a page, but not in the bottom margin.
