One other option is to use the shortcut code which is available in most
applications.

The "code" for the small 2 is: Alt + 253 (be sure to hold down the
alt
button while typing in 253)

So your number would look like this: 125²

If you are using this as a calculation entry, use the carat (^)
[shifted
number 6] e.g. "equals 4 squared" would be =4^2

If it is a text entry, as in "16 square feet", enter "162 feet",
then
in the formula bar, highlight the '2' and choose FormatCells from
the
main menu. On the Font tab, tick the 'superscript' option and click
OK. The result will be "16-2- feet" with the -2- as the small,
raised
squared sign.

Of course both of these apply to any power as well.

This is a good tip (if one can remember the ASCII codes for these
things). Note that the numbers must be entered through the numeric
keypad, not the top row of numbers on the keyboard for this to work.
Of course, this type of entry is also treated as text and cannot be
used for any calculations.
