From here you can get the degree symbol by selecting Insert, Special character and choosing the degree symbol ° (2nd row, fifth character from the right).

More generally, you can type Alt 0176 from the keyboard's numeric pad ° (you have to hold down the Alt key while typing the 0176).

 

Incidentally, Melody, to get out of superscript mode just select superscript again!

It is just a superscript zero.  What do you want it for.  i mean is it just for presentation or something you want to type into a calculator or what?

You can highlight the zero. Go to the drop down format and choose superscript.  Trouble is this has a bit of a bug - it is hard to get out of superscript mode.  you can leave it till your whole post is written and then superscript it after  that works ok.

or

I nealy always use LaTex say you want 36degrees. I would open the latex box and type in 36^0 then close it again. 360  You can do the same thing in Math(input) I believe. It looks like it is not in line properly but it straightens up when you 'publish' your post!
