Hello,

I need to type the following in one of the cells:
E(Ut), where "t" stands for time, and it is formatted to be a Subscript.
MS-Word even has a toolbar button that makes text "subscript". However, when
I paste this text into Excel, the subscript formatting disappears.

Is there a way to format some of the text in a cell as subscript?

Thank you!

Sam, highlight the t then format, cells, font, check subscript

Select the part of the text you want subscripted. Then press Ctrl-1 and
check the Subscript checkbox, close the dialog and press Enter.
