Answer: how do i show cm2 as cm squared ie cm small 2
Sure, I'd be happy to help! To show cm2 as cm squared, you can use the superscript feature in Microsoft Word. Here's how:
[list=1][*] Open a new or existing Word document.[*] Type cm2 (without the quotes) where you want to show cm squared.[*] Highlight the 2 by clicking and dragging your mouse over it.[*] Right-click on the highlighted 2 and select Font from the drop-down menu.[*] In the Font dialog box, check the box next to Superscript and click OK.[*] The 2 should now appear as a smaller, raised character to the right of cm. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + + to quickly apply the superscript formatting to selected text. PHP Code:

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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "hughie1272" wrote in message ... hi can anyone explain how you get a small raised 2 or 3 after cm to show you mean cm squared or cubed? Thanks.. |

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. -- Suzanne S.
