In general, the entire contents of a cell would not be super/subscripted,
and it's likely other formatting may be applied on individual characters. In
such case, you need to test each character:

?activesheet.range("B1").Characters(2,1).font.supe rscript

Superscript and Name are properties of the cell font.
Superscript returns True or False and Name returns the Font Name...
MsgBox Range("B6").Font.Superscript & vbCr & Range("B6").Font.Name

Note: "Name" has various uses in Excel. It can be an object or a string.

I am reading contents of an Excel file from a VB6 program. How do I
know if a string from a cell contains superscript or different fonts
(such as Greek letters)? Thanks.
