hi can anyone explain how you get a small raised 2 or 3 after cm to show you
mean cm squared or cubed? Thanks..
 
Format the digit as superscript: Select it. On the Format menu, click
Font. Click the Font tab. Check the option for "Superscript", and then
click OK.
 
Here's a nice shortcut for the superscript function:

Ctrl+Shift+"+" (i.e., Ctrl+Shift+"Plus key")
You can either select the number first, then use the key combo, or vice-versa.
Then use Ctrl+Spacebar to continue typing normal-size charaters.
Ctrl+Spacebar removes all formatting that is not built into the style.

Also, for subscripts, use: Ctrl+Shift+"-" (i.e., Ctrl+Shift+"dash")

Hope this helps.
Kamran.
 
Note that the keyboard shortcut for Superscript is Ctrl+Shift+=.

Actually, the shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+= (that is, Ctrl+Plus Sign) for
Superscript and Ctrl+= for Subscript. Both are toggles, so pressing them
again will remove the Superscript/Subscript formatting. Ctrl+Spacebar is
useful if no other direct font formatting is applied, but if you are
combining Superscript/Subscript with directly applied bold or italic, say,
it is better to press the shortcuts for Superscript/Subscript again.
