writing in indices and measurments

[Guest]

How do you write in indices (eg 1cm cubed) and measurements (eg degrees celsius)?

Here is what I use:

1. Right-click your toolbar, select "Customize"
2. Click the "Commands" TAB
3. Click the "Format" category on the left hand side
4. Scroll down until you see the Superscript and Subscript commands
5. Click and drag the icon up to an existing toolbar (I put mine next to the
B/I/U commands).

To use. type "1cm", click the "Superscript" icon to turn it on, type "3",
click the "Superscript" icon again to turn it off.

Exponents and other scientific notation can be produced using the
Superscript and Subscript font properties. You can access these from the
Font dialog or use the following keyboard shortcuts:

Superscript: Ctrl+Shift+=
Subscript: Ctrl+=

Both these shortcuts are toggles; press once to turn the formatting on,
again to turn it off.

Most fonts also include glyphs for superscripted 2 and 3, and some include
all the numbers.

The keyboard shortcut for a degree symbol is Ctrl+@, Spacebar. That is,
Press Ctrl, Shift, and 2 simultaneously, release, then press Spacebar. If
you use this character a lot, you may want to assign a different shortcut,
which you can do through the Insert | Symbol dialog: select the character,
then click on Shortcut Key... and enter your desired key combination.
