Using Font Tools to Insert Exponents
From the Font group of the Home menu, use the Superscript button to force highlighted characters to appear as superscripts relative to the baseline size and position of the text. This method offers the simplest solution.
Using Symbols to Insert Exponents
Select the Symbol tab from the Insert menu. Select Symbols then choose More Symbols to reveal a popup menu. Choose the exponent’s font. Most of the time, it will just be the same as the rest of your numbers and text, which means you can simply leave it as normal text. If you do want the exponent’s font to be different, however, select an alternative font from the drop-down menu. When you’ve found the intended symbol in the intended font, select Insert. Press Cancel to close the Symbol box.
Using the Equation Editor to Insert Exponents
From the Insert menu, in the Symbols group, select Equation. Word inserts a placeholder for the equation at the cursor and reconfigures the Ribbon to display the Equation Editor toolkit. Select the Script button to reveal a fly-out menu. Choose a superscript method from the list.
