Barbara and/or Bill asked in USMA 13075: >Norm's example is very good. I merely want to oint out (in case there is >anyone who does not already know this) that often when we use the >superscript-3 for "cubed" it is transmitted to some of the recipients as a >set of quotation marks (specifically, opening quotes). Each place below >(quoted from Norm) where there should be a symbol for decimetres cubed, my >computer printed dm" instead. Perhaps some of you had the same problem. >Others may have had no problem at all. > >(A similar problem occurs with the symbol for "squared". I believe it >translates to a pair of closing quotes.) > >> From: "Norman Werling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> d0af4cd199d1421051.html >> >> Then I would multiply .01 dm x 100 dm x 100 dm to get 1 000 dm" or 1 000 >> litres.

I have a Power Macintosh with MAC OS 8.0 operating system. On the other hand, my own superscripts to this list get echoed back to me correctly. Joseph B.
