Default how do you type squares or "to the power" in excel??

Since you're using this for display purposes, you'll have to first make sure
that the cell is formatted as Text.

Then, simply select the digit in the formula bar, right click in the
selection, choose "Format Cells", and click in "Superscript".

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.
