Superscript, not sure how to do it though.

edit: If its word 2007 then go to the 'insert' tab then click equation on the right, then go wild.

ALT0179=³

Is that what you mean?

CTRL+SHIFT++ does superscript

What?

Write out what you want, say c squared:

c2

then highlight the 2 and go to Format, Font, and click the Superscript box. Or use the Ctrl + Shift + + shortcut as said above.

Format>Font and turn on superscript. Or use the shortcut above

what he said..

turns on superscript, so whatever you type appears small at the top of the line e.g. for powers!

'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + '='

and press the same thing again to get back to normal text mode

Select the number you want to make into a power and press Ctrl + D

This will being up the font options box where you can simply tick the Superscript checkbox
