Hi Imperfect1 - your suggestion sounded very promising... I went there and checked out everything - the closest I got was in the math autocorrect but I would have had to type \circ or \degree to get something like it and I just don't think I'm in the habit of typing either one of those. combinations! I had occasion to cut and paste something from the internet earlier today and, lo and behold, there were the little degree signs in some places -- this time in lieu of a space! (In Word docs they seem only to be in front of specific punctuation marks - quotation marks, questions etc. But once they're there, my only recourse is to open a new document and start typing all over again. Or I can spend my time backspacing them out, which is a real chore. So.... It's a mystery! Thanks for the suggestion though!
