Subscripted text in the legend of a graph

[nure123]

Hi,
I have been trying to write a legend in a graph which has some of its
part subscripted. However, I have not been able to do so. Could
anybody show me a way out.

If your superscripts are just 2 and 3 (squared and cubed) then for toy axis
header use something like y +ALT0179 or y+ALT0179 (digits on the number
pad) to get y² and y³

For other digits you need a fond such as Chemistry font (see
http://www.scs-intl.com/frameload.htm?/chemfont.htm) which has sub and
superscripts for all digits. So does the Calibri font in Office 2007 but
they do not have sequential ASCII values.

(needs updating - I refer to the newest XL as Excel 12 /2006 !!!)

Select the text that you want to subscript

Select Format Axis Title from either the format menu or a right click menu

Check the subscript box in the resulting dialog and click OK

Note that you can use this not only for subscripts, but also for a variety
of changes to individual characters in titles, legends, etc.

Hi,

Your suggestion will not work for characters within the Legend text.
Formatting is all or nothing for each legend entry.

Cheers
