>Okay, I have got the degree symbol to insert by using a keypress event to append chr(176) to the end of the text when pressed. However, every time I press the function key the cursor goes to the beginning of the string.


To go along with what Fabio has said. There are other properties to consider along with SelStart. There is SelLenght that get's reset to zero if you change SelStart. Also in Windows if I have text selected and type a key it replaces that text. So either you can code for all that or just use the KEYBOARD command. Which is what Fabio said for option B.
