To apply superscript:

  1. Select the text you want to raise
  2. Click the superscript icon (x with small raised number)
  3. The text becomes smaller and raised above the line

To apply subscript:

  1. Select the text you want to lower
  2. Click the subscript icon (x with small lowered number)
  3. The text becomes smaller and lowered below the line

Common uses:

  • Superscript: Footnote references¹, trademark™, ordinals (1st, 2nd)
