Ulli,

Yes, that does help! I was looking everywhere to see how to insert the degree symbol. May I suggest a "hot key" to insert the symbol in future revisions of Cinderella for those of us without sensible keyboards? :)

Thanks.

P.S. This is a WONDERFUL program, by the way!

Because we learned that during the Cinderella beta (thanks to our testers!!), we introduced a very nice (IMHO) shortcut for the Inspector fields that use degrees.
