If you're in Word, use Insert|Symbol. Scroll the box up about four
lines, and you'll see the degree symbol on the right end of the row.
Select it, and you'll see that you can get it any time by typing
Alt+0176 (on the number pad). You can also use the "Shortcut key..."
button in that dialog to assign a key or key combination to the
symbol.
