I'm wondering if everyone on the list can see the
special character for the degree symbol on their end - if so, I think that would
be a lot easier to use than the various workarounds (this format - i.e. 180deg
00' - seems to be the favorite flavor du jour).
I'm not sure if the degree symbol translates to
text-only e-mail clients, so if everyone can read the format at the end of this
sentence I'd like to propose that we use the symbol vs. typing out "deg" (it
would also more closely approximate what I'm assuming most of us are using for
our own calculations/worksheets: 180° 00'
Windows users can find the degree symbol with the
Character Map program (charmap.exe), or even easier just copy and paste it from
another post... ;-)
