TNX Dave. I'll keep the Calc Format > Text > Superscript method that you 
have outlined in my mind.

I have been finding formulae at various math tutorial websites and 
pasting them into a Calc file, typically by first washing the text 
string through Notepad and/or LibreOffice Writer.  When I stumbled 
across Writer's convenient superscript button, I thought that it would 
be great if Calc could have those buttons available.  My goal, in part, 
is to model a formula of interest within Calc, e.g., a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 
2bc Cos A; this is one way that allows me to learn how to manipulate 
Calc's functions. So, I used Writer's superscript button and then 
pasting the formula into my Calc file, as a text string, of course.
