I'm sure I've seen it...I've searched under "typing exponents" , "how exponents" and "superscript" and can't come up with a thread on getting exponents to show as superscript rather than (x^2).

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

Thank you in advance. E6S

try x2
that is x[ sup ]2[ /sup ] without spaces
just like HTML but with [ ] instead of < >
 
x2
did this work?
