I constantly use Microsoft Equation 3.0 to write equations. But one
problem I always encounter and I had never been able to figure out
an answer is how to make a letter superscript. I believe I have
explored every option that I know of. In the "size" selection, there
are only subscript and sub-subsubscipt.
Where is the superscript?

In the Equation Editor toolbar, the top row of palettes contains symbols and
the second row contains templates. When you point to something with the
mouse, the Status Bar will tell you its description. (If you're not familiar
with a "status bar", it's the bottom of the window in many applications. In
Word, with the Equation Editor open, the bottom of the Word window is the
Status Bar.) On the template palettes, click the third one from the left:
"Subscript and superscript templates". The superscript is the one in the top
left position. You need to type the base first, then click the superscript
template, then type the superscript. When you're finished with the
superscript, press the Tab key to exit the superscript template and return
to the base level.
