Found this at DotSoft.  I tried it and it works."How can I do subscript/superscript text?There is no way to do it in standard TEXT.  However you can do it in
MTEXT using the stack mechanism.  As an example bring up the MTEXT
editor dialog and paste in something like:
Raise to the 3rd^   Power!
Basically the formula is to use the ^ carat symbol along with the
same number of spaces as you have characters to shift up/down.  In my
example above I would enter this into the MTEXT editor dialog box, there
are three spaces after the ^, two to balance the shift of the 'rd' and a
third for the natural space between the words.  In the MTEXT editor I
would highlight the 5 characters "rd^ ", then press the A/B stacking
button in the dialog. The 'rd' then becomes superscript.  To achieve
subscript simply reverse the order putting the spaces and carat first,
for example " ^rd"."
