Default Superscripting text in a cell

Hi,

Right now, the fastest way I've found to superscript part of text
within a cell is a 5 step process. I'm looking for a faster way?

The vast majority of times, the superscript will be the first or last
letter of a cell (for footnoting), but there are also times when
scientific compounds are seen in cells with superscripting or
subscripting, so it's not always the first/last character.

Here are the steps I currently use to do this:
- Select the cell
- Select the text in the formula bar that I need superscripted
- Right click and select Format Cells
- Select Superscript
- Click OK

What if I encapsulated that which I wanted superscripted or
subscripted? For example, my text in a cell might read '[a]Group
means are shown.' Then a worksheet event or some other macro could
process everything within the brackets to superscript (or use {} for
subscripting). I think something like that might work, wouldn't it?
Would this be able to be done with a Worksheet.Change event?

Thanks.

Frank
