 Subject: Assuming you are working in Word, you can add a button to your toolbar
 
 
 Go to Tools, at the bottom of the meun there is a customize button, click it. Once you are there open the Command tab.  You will see a list of categories on the left and commands on the right.  Click on the format category and you will see all of the format buttons you can add to your tool bar...  about 1/2 way down you will see the superscript and subscript buttons...  Click on the superscript and drag it to your toolbar.  I usually try to put it with like buttons, like the bold, underline and such.  The button should insert into your toolbar and now when you need to superscript a number you can just click on that button before you type it.  you do have to remember to click the button off after you have typed the superscripted character. 
 Hope this helps..

 for years i've been using low-back pain as a pain of the low back 
 just like i've been using small-bowel disease as a disease of the small bowel 
 i figured that the "low" and the "small" refer to the "back" and the "bowel," respectively, but i'm so open to the reasoning why it should not be hyphenated.... 
 since they're terms i use every single day, i would really appreciate clarification....  
 thanks! Just curious - sm
