Let's say you're writing a report, and you wanna go 'this organism lives in temperate climates ranging from... degrees celcius'. How would you word that differently to make it a symbol

Thankies x x

Anyone?

[Insert menu] - [Symbol] - scroll down a bit and it should be there.

On mine the shortcut is Ctrl + @, Space.

I use a lower case "o", then highlight it, Format menu, Font, then select the superscript option

think I might set up a short cut though as I use it a lot

Using the degree symbol looks better. Remember to always put a space between the number and the units! Of course if one wants to be true correct you should quote all temperatures in kelvin.

And for superscript I use the shortcut CTRL, SHIFT and the EQUALS button,
for subscript I use the shortcut CTRL and the EQUALS button.

So Celsius temperatures are "wrong"?

No. It just that Kelvin is a better scale to work with.

It's the same scale, just made a bit more accessible for working with 'everyday' temperatures by shifting all the numbers 273-and-a-bit units.

Use Kelvin, then you don't have to bother with the degree symbol
