Superscript?

 

[randomkid]

yes. Superscript it is.
In MS Word, highlight the text you want to become superscript, the right click then "Font" then check "Superscript".
6³

If you do not have superscripts available:

Usual way: 10^3 = 1000.

Old FORTRAN style: 10**3 = 1000.

Calculator style: 10e3 = 1000.

Calculator style: 10e3 = 1000.

Not quite: the E stands for *10^ , so 10e3=10*10^3=10,000.
