Importing Degree Symbol Into Filepro

[Scott Walker]

I'm importing data from an Excel file.  The Excel data includes the degree
symbol in some of the part descriptions.  Filepro does not like that.
Neither does vi.

Any thoughts on the best way to convert the degree symbol to the text "deg".

Would it be better to do this to the data outside of filepro (before I
import it) or would it be better to handle inside fp.

Regards,
Scott
