Hi

In addition to all the other response you have received you could
FormatCellsNumberCustom #0.0 "Area mm²"

Use whatever Numeric format you want in place of #0.0 and within the
quotes type Area mm Alt+0178

Then, just enter your formula or your value into the formatted cell.

This has the advantage that any values entered can be utilised in
further calculations.

I want to type in "Area (mm)" as text and have the mm to the power of 2
as in
mm squared. I thought I could insert it as a symbol?

I am using Excel 2000
