I am trying to merge an excel file that has data imported from a text file.  
I have included a column with a function to "substitute" a "d" in a character
string to the "degree symbol."  This works fine in excel, but when I merge
the field into my Word form, it loses the symbol!  I entered the symbol in
the excel cell function using the character number  "0176" as shown in Word's
Latin-1 symbol set.  I have tried to set the word merge field with format
"switches," etc., to no avail.

I am going MAD trying to figure out how to get the degree symbol to show up
in my form!  Can you help?!
