In certain languages (including French, I believe), the convention is to
have a space before a colon. To ensure that the colon stays with the
preceding text, Word inserts a nonbreaking space, which is what the degree
symbol indicates, as described in
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.
As Stefan suggests, the likelihood is that your text is formatted for one of
the languages that observe this convention.

What is it that causes the degree symbol to appear automatically? For
example, when typing ':' this is switched to '°:'. Can this be avoided?
Thank you,
Koen
