In MS Word, what does the Superscript formatting do to text?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Raises it above the baseline and reduces its size
Superscript raises text above the normal line and reduces its size, as in \( x^{2} \) or a footnote reference mark. Its shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + =. Its counterpart is subscript, which lowers text below the line and is used for chemical formulae such as \( \mathrm{H_2O} \). Its shortcut is Ctrl + =, and the two differ only by the Shift key. Both are toggles, so pressing the shortcut again returns the text to normal. Word applies superscript automatically in some cases - ordinal numbers such as 1st and 2nd are raised by AutoFormat, which can be switched off if unwanted. For anything more elaborate than a single raised character, the Equation tool on the Insert tab is the better choice, since it handles fractions, integrals and matrices properly rather than by manipulating the baseline.
