If you're posting a Word document, you can use superscript font
formatting (Format Font Superscript, or shortcut Ctrl+Shift+=).

In Word or any other Windows program, if all you need are superscript
2 and 3, you can use the character ² by holding Alt and typing 0178 on
the number pad (with NumLock turned on) and the character ³ by typing
Alt+0179.
