Thumbs up Answer: how do i insert scientific notation

Inserting scientific notation or powers of ten notation in a Word document is actually quite simple. Here are the steps:
  1. Type the number you want to convert to scientific notation or powers of ten notation.
  2. Highlight the number.
  3. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  4. Look for the "Font" section of the ribbon and click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner of the section to open the "Font" dialog box.
  5. In the "Font" dialog box, click on the "Superscript" checkbox.
  6. Click "OK" to close the "Font" dialog box.

If you want to use powers of ten notation, you can simply type "x10" after the number and then use the superscript feature to make the "10" smaller and raised above the line. For example, if you want to write "1.23 x 10^4", you would type "1.23x10" and then use the superscript feature to make the "4" smaller and raised above the line.

That's it! You should now have your number in scientific notation or powers of ten notation in your Word document.
