degree sign

[Michael Doube]

Hi all

I'd like to output the degree sign ° (alt+0176) from a macro into the
column heading of the Results table, and for that to be exportable to
Excel. This works by including '°' in my macro code, but when I Save as
xls I get this symbol ｰ instead. If you can't see it, it looks like one
of the Arabic characters. This is under XP. Under Linux, I just get an
empty box instead of an °.

Any ideas?

Mike

Have a look at the Unicode.txt macro at the IJ site.

I guess that you need to use fromCharCode(176); for this.
