It sure does work in Excel 97-2003 on a chart title, axis title, data label,
and text box, as long as the text element is not linked to the text in a
cell. What text element is not working for you, and is it linked to a cell's
text?

It does not work (with MS Excel 2003). I have the same problem.

To superscript a character in a run of text, click so that the cursor is
blinking in
the text, then select the character and press Ctrl+1 (numeral one) to
open the
Format dialog. Format the character as superscripted.

Axis titles, chart titles, and data labels are not true text boxes.
Although they
have the black square handles, they are not resizable. Maybe in the next
version....

I tried to write suprscripted variable in y-title of the excel chart
(located
in work sheet). It gave the superscript at the extreme top, text
direction 90
degrees, (not with the text desired). Where am I going wrong in putting
the
superscript through format axis? Moreover I could not re-size the text
boxes.
Please advice and help me out.
