Importing Degree Symbol Into Filepro

[Josh Reader]

In Excel you can easily convert them by doing the following

1. Press Ctrl + H
2. Click into the Find what box if not already there
3. Press and hold the Alt key while typing 0176 and the degree symbol
should show up.
4. Press tab or click into Replace with box
5. Type deg
6. Click Replace All button
