Although I'm not an expert at MS Word Macros (I knew how to do it in WordPerfect) another way would be to create a macro that changes, for example, the 3 in m3 to a superscript. Then, if you know how, you can add buttons to a menu for all the metric rules.

The method may look cumbersome, but after you set one of the shortcuts, repeating the procedure a dozen times for all the symbols you often use is a breeze and the benefit of the effort lasts forever. Not having tried the latest MSWord and Vista, I am curious to know whether those can be set up the same or an easier way or needs no setup at all. Stan Jakuba
