silly in a spreadsheet, where one wants to identify a measurement.
"m" is OK, but "m^2" gets auto-'corrected' to "M^2". Likewise "Cm^2",
"In^2", "Ft^2", "Inch^2", and so forth.
It's embarrassing that I don't see how to turn off this behavior.
Tools → Options for Auto-correction… → Click the Options tab → ☐ Start
every sentence with a capital letter
I /thought/ I had done that (hence the embarrassment). Now I find that I had
clicked the box above (so the embarrassment is compounded).

You can also just type m², then you don't need to change any settings. And
it looks better.
I never thought about that! For decades, through many spreadsheet programs, my
habit has been to treat text cells like formula cells. For me, learning that
it's not necessary represents a conceptual leap. ;-) Thanks.
Every day is a school day. Thanks again to both of you,
John
