how do you type squares or "to the power" in excel??
Note:
My first method will change the value to text.
The Custom Format will leave the number as a number.

Use ALT + 0178 on the numpad for squared(superscript 2).
ALT + 0179 for cubed.
You can set up a Custom Format for this is you have a great whack to do.
FormatCellsNumberCustom
Enter ### then hit ALT + 0178

this may seem a silly question, but how do you type powers in excel?
i.e. numbers to the power of something.
e.g. in WORD, you can type numbers to the power of something by pressing
"ctrl + shift + ="
to allow you to type things like the "th" on the "5th" of january, the same
thing can be used to type 7 squared - e.g. allowing me to type a small number
"2" top right of the 7.
how can you do this is excel 2003?
is it possible?
(i require this for use in a title - not an equation...)
many thanks if anyone knows.
