Problem specifying superscript text in a spreadsheet

In Excel, superscript is a character-level format. To avoid changing the whole cell’s font size, only the characters that should be superscript must be selected before opening the Format Cells dialog.

Steps to apply superscript correctly in cell G3:

1. Double‑click cell G3 (or press F2) so the cursor is inside the text.
2. Drag to select only the character(s) that should be superscript.
3. Press CTRL+1 to open Format Cells.
4. On the Font tab, under Effects, check Superscript, then select OK.

Only the selected characters will be superscripted; the rest of the text in G3 will keep the original font size.

If a full equation or technical notation is needed instead of just visual formatting, insert an Equation object and use Script options as described for numeric values.
