Hi folks

I have tried googling and also the "special characters" section to no avail.

I am trying to write some numbers in the forms of "to the power of" using Apple Pages.

Do any of you science, tech or maths gurus out there know how to do this?

Many thanks!

I know nothing of macs, but:

what is wrong with 10^20 ?

or can you change the font of the '20' to superscript?

In pages - go to help - type "superscript" and it'll show you where it is in the menu

Is 10**20 no longer valid?

That's how I would have typed it out on a computer as well. Not sure I know where I learned this though.

That's how the formulae on Excel works.

Control-shift-(+) (the plus / equals key) toggles superscript in Office on the PC. Presumably the Mac has a similar keystroke?

Macs are definitely for strokers.
