I use x^2 (power). I want to put the icon for this command in my tool ar. I

It doesn't work in my computer. Even if it worked, it is not a wiseway. I
want to bring the shortcut icon to toolrbar so that only by one click I can do this. Alt 0178 needs 4 charcter input and is long -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer Osaka, Japan "Wayne" wrote: Have you tried "ALT+0178" ? "Khoshravan" wrote: I use x^2 (power).

Create a macro as follows in an Excel file in "XLStart" folder
========================= Sub InsertSquare() Application.SendKeys ("²") End Sub ========================= Assign the above macro to a Button using "View-Tool Bars- Customize" Assign a keyboard short (whatever you wish) to it using "Rearrange commands".

Dear Naveen
Thanks for your reply. I think Microsoft has already wrote this Macro and it is somewhere inside the View command my problem is that I just can't find it. I am not familiar with Macro and it is hard for to write it. I prefer to find where is that icon. In my previous computers I had it and with this new computer in new work palce I cant find it. -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer Osaka, Japan "NAVEEN" wrote: Create a macro as follows in an Excel file in "XLStart" folder ========================= Sub InsertSquare() Application.SendKeys ("²") End Sub ========================= Assign the above macro to a Button using "View-Tool Bars- Customize" Assign a keyboard short (whatever you wish) to it using "Rearrange commands".

What's wrong with Shift+6? -- mphell0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mphell0's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30153 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=515589 |

Shift 6 doesn't work. Even Shift F6 doesn'twork.
I just found out that I have used this icon in Word, not in Excel. In word if you go to View/toolbars/user setting/command/ and choose format then you will see two icons one power and the other for index. I wonder why these icons are not available in Excel? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer Osaka, Japan "Khoshravan" wrote: I use x^2 (power).

Not sure I understand, but the "^" (Exponentiation Sign) can be added to
the toolbar by customizing the toolbar.... Select "Commands" Tab Select the "Insert" Categories "^" is about half way down the list (Excel 2003) -- HTH. :) Dana DeLouis Windows XP, Office 2003 "Khoshravan" wrote in message ...

You can either go to Insert-Symbol and select the ^, but you would have to do this everytime you wanted the symbol. To put a button in your toolbar go to View-Toolbars-Customize. Under categories select "Insert". Under commands scroll down until you see the ^. Select it and drag it to somewhere on your toolbar and it will insert a button. What do you mean Shift+6 didn't work? Did it put in nothing or just another symbol? Make sure you are using the numbers above the keyboard for this. -- mphell0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mphell0's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30153 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=515589 |

Thanks for comments. I think I fall short in expressing what do I want to do.
I want to write 25 (2 to power of 5). 5 should be placed in power position, which means should be super indexed (I am not sure about this expression, but I mean 5 should be in a higher position). I know that I can go to tools/cell/format cell and do this, but it is time consuming esp if I want to do it for many times. In word, there is an icon which shows x2 (where 2 is placed in a higher position. means that x to power of 2) and by selecting 2 and clicking the icon it do everything. I don't know why excel doesn't provide this icon? How can make it myself? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer Osaka, Japan "mphell0" wrote: You can either go to Insert-Symbol and select the ^, but you would have to do this everytime you wanted the symbol.
