The way that I insert a degree symbol in my version of Word (2002) is: Insert >> Symbol Font: (normal text) Subset: Latin-1 The degree symbol is the right-most symbol on the seventh line. The name of the symbol is displayed on the bottom left of the symbol window. Also, the hex character code is 00B0. Good luck.
One can insert a degree symbol into their Microsoft Word document by using the 'Symbols' command on the 'Insert' menu, and then inserting the degree symbol from the 'Windows Character Map' tool.
There are a number of ways you can try. The best is to go to the Insert Menu and then to Symbol. With the option set to Normal Text, scroll down through the list of characters and you will see it. Then click on it and it will be inserted into your document.
Another way is to the following. First, make sure the Num Lock key is on. Then press and hold the Alt key. Type 248 on the numeric keypad, not on the numbers across the top of the keyboard, and then let go of Alt.
Use "Insert Symbol" on Microsoft Word.
Use the "h" in symbol font.
I have not seen it in Microsoft Word symbols but you can always just paste the following. ≈

I think the only way is to use * or x.
If you go to Insert Symbol and pick the Webdings font, you will find a wheelchair symbol that can be inserted into your document.
On Microsoft Word, go into Insert and Symbol, it'll be under Greek letters - you can cut and paste it from there
In MS Word 2007/2010 go to Insert > Symbol and choose pound symbol to insert at current cursor location.
Assuming you mean to type the √ symbol, I would guess (not using MS Word but OpenOffice.Org) that it is inserted as a "special symbol" (in one of the menus) which could allow access to all characters in the current font.
It's on your keyboard. Hold shift and press 8. *
