📌 Why this matters

Superscript formatting in Google Slides is essential for displaying mathematical exponents, footnote references, trademark symbols, and scientific notation accurately in presentations. Google Slides does not offer a toolbar button for superscript, so knowing the exact path through the Format menu saves time and prevents formatting errors. This demo matters because it gives users a repeatable, step-by-step workflow to apply superscript text without memorizing keyboard shortcuts. Anyone creating academic, scientific, or professional presentations in Google Slides benefits from mastering this built-in formatting feature.
