Why would you use that outdated manuscript citation style? Is that what a teacher is asking you to do?

Type your sentence in Word, then whatever superscript number you want to use. Highlight the number. Go to Format, then File, then check the Superscript box and click OK.

superscript = Latin for "above the writing"
subscript = Latin for "below the writing"

Raised script is called superscript.

HTML

<p>This text contains <sup>superscript</sup> text.</p>

So the tag is <sup> and </sup>

----------


Lowered script is called subscript.

HTML:

<p>This text contains <sub>subscript</sub> text.</p>

So the tag is <sub> and </sub>

Sorry, I thought this window would block code - so again:


Raised script is called superscript.

The tags are: "sup" and "/sup"

This text contains <sup>subscript</sup> text.

-----------


Lowered script is called subscript.

The tags are "sub" and "/sub"

This text contains <sub>subscript</sub> text.
