Does anyone know how to get the keyboard to generate the designation for
microgram? It's a Greek letter that looks like small u followed by g. Thanks.

Sure, I can help you with that! The symbol you're looking for is actually called "micro" and it's represented by the Greek letter "mu" followed by the letter "g". Here's how you can type it on your keyboard:

1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the symbol.
2. Press and hold the "Alt" key on your keyboard.
3. While holding the "Alt" key, type the code "0181" on the numeric keypad (make sure the Num Lock is on).
4. Release the "Alt" key and the symbol should appear.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Insert Symbol" feature in Microsoft Word to insert the micro symbol. Here's how:

1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the symbol.
2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon.
3. Click on "Symbol" in the "Symbols" group.
4. Select "More Symbols" at the bottom of the drop-down menu.
5. In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Greek and Coptic" from the "Subset" drop-down menu.
6. Scroll down until you find the micro symbol (it should be near the bottom).
7. Click on the symbol to select it, then click on "Insert".
8. Close the "Symbol" dialog box.

Hi, gigimay. Hold down the Alt key, type 0181 from the numeric keypad at the
right side of the keyboard (not the top row of number keys), and release the
Alt key.

Hi garfield-n-odie I have a lap top with no numerical key board but for the
one to the top of the top of the keyboard. Thanks.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/InsertSpecChars.htm. If you have Word
2002 or 2003, you can also type 00B5 (on the regular number row), then press
Alt+X.

Hi, gigimay

How do you get numbers smaller and a bit below and a bit above the line in
cases of square root and formulas in general?

Format | Font | Superscript. The keyboard shortcut for this is Ctrl+Plus
(Ctrl+Shift+=).
