Super & Subscript
Nothing elegant. There is: Select text, then press Ctrl-1 and then Alt-e
(for superscript) or Alt-b (for subscript). It's a little faster than reaching for the mouse I think. -- Jim "raj74" wrote in message ... | Is there ant shortcut in excel for writing super & subscript instead of going | to format cell front check the box and again uncheck it for writing | normal fronts. | | Regards | | Raj |

Super & Subscript
Jim,
The only elegant way, as I have found in of my practice, is building clever macros that can bring several distinct types of strings to proper settings of sub- and superscripts. These types are (_ delimits sub-, * superscripts): - chemical formulae and common expressions with numeric indices, i.e. (NH_4_)_2_SO_4_ , REM_12_ , - symbols with first character normal and other characters subscripts, i.e. µ_max_ , t_1/2_ , - unit expressions and general powers, i.e. kcal ft*-2* hr*-1*, R*-1.45*. Surely, this is beyond the scope of this question. Regards, -- Petr Bezucha "Jim Rech" wrote: Nothing elegant.

I have one that works well in Word and the results can be cut and pasted into Excel. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
