If you’re creating a document to teach math or science information in Google Docs, you may need to use superscript. This type of text appears slightly above the main text and uses a smaller font size. Although most commonly used for math and science, you’ll also see superscript used to indicate a footnote. Similarly, a subscript is commonly used to write chemical equations and formulas.
You can superscript or subscript text on the Google Docs website, as well as in the mobile app on Android and iPhone. Let’s see how to add and subscribe in Google Docs.
Superscript in Google Docs on the web
You can apply the superscript using the menu or keyboard shortcut. Visit the Google Docs website, sign in, and open your document.
Step 1 – Select the text you want to convert to superscript by double-clicking the word or using your cursor to click and drag the text to select longer sentences.
Step 2: Go to Format tab, then select Text.
Step 3: Choose Superscript in the popup menu.
Step 4 – You will see the selected text on top of the surrounding text and in a slightly smaller font.
To use a keyboard shortcut instead, select the desired text, and then press Control + . (dot) in Windows or Domain + . (dot) on a Mac.
To remove the superscript, follow these same steps and deselect the superscript format, or use the same keyboard shortcut.
Superscript in Google Docs in the mobile app
You can apply the above index in Google Docs on your mobile using the formatting tool. Launch the Google Docs app on your Android or iPhone and open the document.
